If these two statements are logical implications of Maxwell's equations, a) A magnet that is not moving with respect to the aether will not have an electric field. b) A magnet that is moving at a constant velocity with respect to the aether will have an electric field.
Then consider this thought experiment: You are in a windowless cabin with a hatch on the floor that is initially closed . It is located on the surface of a large frozen lake whose ice is perfectly smooth, flat and frictionless. Outside the cabin the ice is featureless except for a grid of lines that is visible just a few millimeters beneath the ice surface. The Earth is assumed to be flat and the cabin has been designed to exclude outside fields and slide over the ice in any direction. Inside the cabin there is a bar magnet and an electric field probe that can detect electric fields. If the electric field probe tells you the magnet has no electric field, you can conclude the cabin is at rest with respect to the aether. If the magnet does have an electric field then you know the cabin is moving at a constant velocity with respect to the aether. In both scenarios you do not if the cabin is at rest with respect to the ice or in which direction you are moving. However, by opening the floor hatch you can determine if you are moving with respect to the ice and in which direction.
