You are correct - there is only one flight from HKG-MLE, 4 times a week, on Cathay Pacific only.
Sorry for the confusion. Let me explain. I was in BKK - a fact I (stupidly) left out of the post... and flew Bangkok Air non-stop from BKK to MLE.
In BKK, before my Bangkok Air flight (which is in the morning), I walked over to the Cathay Pacific Desk in Bangkok and got my boarding passes for MLE-HKG (that night) and HKG-ORD (next day), as well as the lounge passes for Male (that night) and Hong Kong (next day).
In MLE, I went to the transfer area. They were very confused, but, in the end (after 15 minutes), they walked me to the lounge.
