I wonder whether Refa's team knew all about Cartagia and how to keep him away from sharp objects, and Londo undercutting Refa gave Cartagia the freedom to do as he pleased.

That's possible; it's also possible that Cartagia was smart enough to keep his more obvious peculiarities hidden until he was Emperor. (Also remember, that Refa was looking for someone young and easily manipulatable; to some extent, it was a case of finding only what you look for.
