No, he is not. Look at the HW-rules description of Malakinus, revealed by Carmanos to be the source of Good Sorcery which he studied from Idovanus, the source of all Good. _That_ is the Carmanian interpretation of Malkion and one which they have held down since Carmanos.
Enclosure #1 may say differently but on this forum and elsewhere I am going to place far more reliance on official publications than a Work-in-progress article that Greg forgot all about or even telephone calls.

Nevertheless it is still Malkioni Caste Law (to the extent that the Vizier Caste is largely sorcerous) and it is still strict. All this is published.

So they don't demonize Malkion. And FWIW this is the Loskalmi interpretation too. So I don't see how this disqualifies the Carmanians from being Malkioni.
