My guess--and if nobody else knows for sure I may send an email to the sales rep who sent the original notice for clarification--is that the YR will still be included in the ticket value for use against payment for a future itinerary, but you can't get cold hard cash back. (You can get cash back when canceling a nonrefundable ticket for many "real" taxes, which is probably what they're distinguishing from.)
