This is a standard entry in the MCT rules as shown on EF et al, so applies to all tickets

Connections intra-city are only permitted where the connection is a legal connection. With the MCT rules listed , you managed to get something that would seem to be an exception to the rules
That it is an international award is not relevant as to whether a connection is valid. The only thing that would seem to be debatable is whether a flight to SJU is domestic as far as MCT rules apply since D-I is permitted whilst D-D is suppressed
