Outbound Immigration is not concerned with your destination, rather they are concerned that your stay in their country was valid. And as a citizen you would have no issues there. And even if they did look at the destination requirements aspect, they would see that the visa is valid for your intended trip.
The airline is the main factor in terms of you traveling, as they are the responsible party for verifying your permission to enter the destination. But again as the visa will be valid when you arrive in the EU they would have no reason to deny boarding. Of course this is assuming your departure is within the time period allowed by your visa.

There is no reason it should be a problem. As far as Germany/the Schengen area is concerned, you need to have a visa which is valid when crossing the border checkpoint, at Munich airport, not before.
The airline will also check that you have a visa but it's not really a separate requirement, merely another verification that you meet the requirements of your destination country (because they can be fined if they bring people with no visa to the border point). Since your wife's visa would in fact be valid when she needs it, they should hopefully understand that it is fine.
