The first wasn't that it didn't count, just that Nagi herself still seemed unsure of the stance. Maybe she hadn't quite gotten the possibility through her head that Hayate doesn't think of her as more than a master.
The second seemed to be more because she was rather sure that Hina wouldn't go on the offensive, author avatar foreknowledge that Hina wouldn't confess.
Ayumu on the other hand, would, and has twice, so I think Nagi's trying to keep a little hope in her heart that she might be able to win him over, and if Ayumu went out on a date with Hayate she would crush what little hope Nagi had left.
Kinda amusing that Nagi herself ordered Hayate to take time alone with Ayumu (in a non-date capacity) earlier (Hot Springs arc).
When she spoke to Hayate before he left for his date with Hina, she seemed to be regretful more than anything.
