It is a new idea indeed that Malbeth may have been Gandalf. I think we know next to nothing about Malbeth, save that he was present in Fornost at Ardedui's birth, had easy access to the King and was much respected.
Yet, the noble Dunedain could very well have prophetic visions of their own (as did Aragorn before Moria). Prophesy was not restricted to Maiar.
