A full screen window is (per "xprop | grep _NET_WM_STATE"):
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN
while normal maximization is:
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HOR
showing there is a difference that can be used in the code.

I do not remember any config that does it already, so if you want to
change the behaviour, probably you will have to create own versions of
files like wm-spec.jl or maximize.jl, so getting out of fullscreen
goes back to whatever was before (normal or maximized). Sorry to not
be able to just give you a "add this line here" solution.

Remember you can replace files easily by creating your own as
~/.sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/state/wm-spec.jl and so on.

Cheers,
