Derpy me! After reviewing the FAQ, I'd concluded there hasn't been an official answer to this in there. However, it turns out I should have gone straight to the Rules Reference itself. Our own Maneuver article says when an ability instructs you to perform a maneuver, you perform the Execute Maneuver step, which does include Check Pilot Stress; that comes straight from the rules reference. Guh... I gotta turn to that before the faq more often. :)

Short answer: Yes, it counts as performing a green (or red) maneuver and will affect your stress.

This also matters if you perform a turn while stressed and with a crit that makes turns red (or with a huge ship with red turns, like the YV-666) -- that will force your SLAM to perform a white 2 forward instead of what you chose, which could be very useful if your original maneuver speed was 1 or 3...
