MLE-DXB-SIN-DXB-MLE in J for USD$1K is the one I have used that does not allow the Dubai stopover, but you can manage 20 hour or so layover, and you could then cancel the last segment and get tier miles for all segments except the last one.
Looking at it again, there is in fact a small no show fee. As I understand it, one could not be checked in for the last leg and no show for it, and then call to have it rebooked. It wouldn't make sense that the segment is completely lost on a fully flexible ticket.
It shows full miles through the entire process, so even if they try giving one less miles, the screenshot trick should work!
