I strongly disagree.The main thing that makes me doubt this is the case, is his off-site activity.
This is what I have issues with: it seems like he understands that it is against the rules, and points it out and has problems with it when used to upgrade (support of Tensura), but keeps quiet, but has no issue with it, and even uses it when it's for debunking (against Tensura).
That makes it seem much less of a "misunderstanding" and much more of pushing an agenda.
These off-site posts aren't showing that they "understands it's against the rules", in that off-site post they literally say "MTL is machine translated, not saying its no usable, but it has nothing on the official translators".
The part that's more important to me is this post where they're told MTL is unusable, which they acknowledge by responding to it.
Although, I think this is mitigated by how they were told this in July, and since then they've spent months not on the forum at all.
So with these mitigating factors - I can imagine this slipping one's mind after that time, they now seem to understand it's disallowed, half of their invocations of MTL were clearly labelled (indicating it was a misunderstanding, rather than trying to be deceptive) - I think we should leave it at a strict warning for now.
