I think that the meaning of the 'maximize' actions refer to 'changing the maximized state of the window' rather than simply maximizing vs unmaximizing. As such, it seems it shouldn't be changed when a window is maximized. However, it seems reasonable to me that when a window is set in fullscreen mode, its 'move' and 'resize' actions be removed to reflect that these actions cannot be performed. By updating these actions to reflect the window's state, the window manager can choose how windows will behave, even in regard to modifying them with external tools in any given state.
