Just thought I would come back and say that yes, indeed, I did get the MR points with bonus on the portion of my purchase that was not paid with the apple gift card. YMMV, but there it is in case others have a similar question.
I would add that with the funky way that Amex posts pending points and tracks them across multiple accounts it took a bit of work to confirm that I did in fact get 6x on the non-gift-card portion of the purchase, but I did.
