I don't see why Amex would view this any differently. .
I think the difference is that the Saks benefit is funded by Saks. If you return a purchase, Saks reverses the credit. The airline fee credit is an American Express benefit, their system may not be able to link the credit to a specific transaction for refund/clawback purposes.
