As for parts, I tried to do the 1x1 plate with tooth from the LDRAW Parts
Tracker (part 49668):

But, this doesn't work.  If you place a tooth on your model in MLCAD, LDD will
import it in the right place.  But, if you save the model from LDD in '.ldr'
format, the tooth will disappear.  Re-loading the '.ldr' file can precipitate a
crash, too.

Contrary to some suggestions based on LDD 1.5, LDD 1.6 refers to all colours of
this part as "49668".  I still don't know why this doesn't work though - it
worked for the 1x1x2/3 slope.

I'd suggest experimenting and seeing if this is a color-specific issue.

49668 is one of the numbers that is remapped internally in the program, so that
(as you mentioned), it always uses the one number, for both opaque and
transparent parts. I wonder whether the part type that 49668 truly is (Opaque or
Transparent) will transfer fine, but the other coloring type is causing the
crash.  The 1x1x2/3 slope doesn't act this way, which would be why I'm
suggesting this as the cause.

Here again is an optional fix. This will convert new brown in LDD models to old brown in LDRAW, which is more convenient to edit in MLCAD: First, comment out the old brown definition: <!-- OLD BROWN, removed by Jason Railton 30.Jun.06 --> <!-- (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
