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.
