I agree the 'Magus' needs to be full BAB, and I don't see this as unbalanced with the other classes, I think best fitting under a Ranger structure build, that is full BAB, arcane spells start at 4th level and only gain up to 4th level spells, that would work just fine.
If I were to build a 3/4 BAB gish, I'd be using the Inquisitor to base the build, starting at 1st level and going up to 6th level spells with a limited spell list.
Actually Tejon, one of the Paizo members (16th place in this years RPG Superstar contest) has been working on an Iron Mage gish class, which is built on the Ranger structure as mentioned above - very much a PF conversion of Hexblade, but with many balanced and original powers.
I've been following closely on his development of the class and think he's done a great job. I happen to be working on an Iron Age Celtic setting, and Tejon has agreed to let me port in his Iron Mage to be included in the publication - though he plans on publishing it as a standalone class on his own as well.
Tejon's Iron Mage, is much better than Paizo's Magus IMO.
