Situation 2: New ticket value is 1500€. You pay 1000€ with your voucher and 500€ with your American Express card. You are covered. If you pay the difference with another card you are not covered.
With respect to mileage awards NO mileage awards are covered because the "l'intégralité" of the ticket was not paid with an American Express but with miles. The only exception is for FB tickets if one has an AF/KL American Express.
That's very good news and reassuring. Thanks for having checked.
