IIRC the MLX only does up to ~512k IPv4 routes. The XMR is the chassis that'll support higher than this.
sorry, you're correct here - the XMR does 1m prefixes. More correctly, it's the line cards which support this, as this chassis uses distributed forwarding.
In their data sheet for the MLX series, Brocade note:
Industry-leading scalability up to:* • 10 million BGP routes • 1 million IPv4 routes in hardware (FIB)
the * refers to "Scalability limits depend on configured system parameters, NetiIron XMR module types, licenses, system profile selected, and routing database complexity."
This is stretching reality a little more than usual, or perhaps the documentation writer just got the two mixed up.
