Unfortunately, I don’t think that T-junctions can be made visible in MLCad, since I don’t think it has a wireframe mode. However, if you use LDraw Design Pad with LDView in polling mode, you can set LDView to wireframe, and the T-junctions will become very visible. Here are three sample files that illustrate the original shape with T-junctions, the fix made by adding two triangles, and the fix made by rearranging things for the least number of quads:
