just a question, but why would Robbie be Young Malcolm? even if that was actually how young Malcolm appeared (and that is something that I actually rather doubt), Pan would be a teenager, and Malcolm with the Black Fairy would seem to occur after Malcolm was an adult. In fact, consider that Malcolm as we saw him was at most 8 years removed from his interaction with the BF, and he definitly appears as a man in his 40's (at least). So there would be little to no need to have Robbie appear. Now, having the older Malcolm reprise the role might make some sense, since a little makeup and CG work could be used to remove the years from his character.

However, I do agree that it would be nice to have Malcolm back for at least part of the BF backstory. Whether we get that is a different discusssion altogether.
