When I run fsck on the disk it comes back clean. 

Try

fsck.ext4 -f <dev>

It's possible the journal is clean but the file system is not.

So how does Linux decide if a drive can be safely removed versus unmounted?

If it's unmounted it's safe to remove. If it's mounted, it's not safe to remove.

If you're mainly using mate, I'd think that it has a way to automount volumes, and therefore when you reboot it'll unmount them cleanly first. I don't know that it needs to be in fstab.
