I don't see why they would. All points (other than points transfers from SPG to Marriott, which AFAIK are no longer possible) count toward lifetime points (if you're chasing legacy Marriott lifetime status that way), and I don't see what other implication it would have.
My transfer around the end of August not only posted as "bonus" but had some bogus description which had nothing to do with American Express. But again it don't see why it would matter.
