The question

Does the Maliki Iraqi School's opinion that ablution is not invalidated by unaccustomed discharge from the private parts remain valid, if their interpretations of Imam Malik's texts are proven incorrect, and their opinion becomes an anomaly?

The answer

The Malikis hold that an unaccustomed discharge from the two private parts—such as stones, worms, blood, or wind from the front private part—does not invalidate ablution, unless it is mixed with impurity. They cite the Almighty's saying: {or one of you comes from the call of nature}, and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no ablution except from a sound or a smell," and that it is a type other than the accustomed types of impurities. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hakam al-Misri disagreed with this, saying that ablution is obligatory if pure worms or pure blood exit from the anus.
