Yes the Pashtuns are in large numbers in both countries, but I think a weaker and more divided Afghanistan increases the strength of a Pashtun nationalist movement. Such a movement wouldn't IMO be at all likely to come from the central Afghan government (even if the president and a number of other important figures are Pashtuns). It would be more of a "bottom up" movement, and would be strengthened by chaos in Afghanistan and by the central government being seen as ineffectual.
