Mr. Death:

I don't believe so... I would not be remotely shocked if Mab's idea of settling the account would be to murder Murphy's future child... Or to enslave her child... Or maybe torturing Murphy until she's begging for death, only to punish her for years more to come.

Mab point blank ordered Harry to kill Maeve.
Murphy was effectively working for Harry there, to do something that Mab explicitly ordered her knight to have done.
It'd be daft if Mab went out of her way to gain retribution for an act that she not only personally and directly enabled but that she had ordered her Knight to do in the first place. Is she also getting retribution against Harry for doing the things she explicitly ordered him to do?
Slate betrayed Mab personally. Murphy did the exact thing Mab wanted done with Mab's direct assistance. The two situations are not at all comparable.

And Titania's response to Harry stopping Aurora from doing something that was of world ending proportions?

... Was to yell at him and then say while she's mad, she's not going to harm him and in fact gives him helpful information.
And that's considering that Titania didn't order Harry to kill Aurora.
Look, point is, if you say, "I want this thing done," then you kinda forfeit any right to be mad about that thing being done. Especially if you directly help that thing be done.

"I could feed you to my garden and make you scream the entire while. I could visit torments on you that would make Lloyd Slate's fate seem kind by comparison. I want to eat your heart"
"But she was mine. I cannot forget that you took her from me. I cannot forgive you that. Take your life and leave this place"..
Sidhe don't lie. She will not forget what he did, she will not forgive what he did, and she does want to eat his heart. If she has the opportunity, meaning if Harry crosses a line that allows her to act, she will follow through. I doubt Mab thinks any differently about Maeve's death. Sidhe are not human and human logic does not translate to Fae belief.
Mr. Death:
Mab absolutely thinks differently about Maeve's death. For one, Mab is the cold and logical one in direct contrast to Titania's hot-blooded emotion. Of course she's going to think differently, and that's even before bringing in the fact that, again, Mab not only ordered it done but directly assisted in it.
You could argue that she's more directly responsible for the death than Murphy or Harry was.
Aurora's death to Titania and Maeve's death to Mab are two different circumstances, involving two different beings with diametrically opposed views and modes of operation, who take different roles in the deaths and are going to react differently.
So no, you can't say that because Hot Blooded Emotional Titania is angry at Harry (but ultimately doesn't actually harm him) for killing her daughter, Cold and Logical Mab who ordered Harry to kill Maeve and directly assisted Murphy in killing her is going to go to extreme length to punish someone for an act that she willfully and completely supported and assisted in.
