I wonder how deliberate this was? I know much less about the Narnia stories and their composition than I know about the history of Middle-earth. I would say that "salt" might be an inversion of what Christ said about the goodness of salt, and the salt losing its savour; viz. getting your heart's desire and despair along with it.
