This doesn't work. Let's ignore the $2850 for a moment and just try to
replace the $28.50 reconciled transaction that I deleted. This $28.50
WAS on my statement (the bank added the difference on the next
statement). Now I ignore the current statement and try to reconcile
the old statement again. I give the same ending balance ($5675.82),
the same ending date, and I just want to convert the deleted $28.50
transaction back to 'y'. When I reconcile and click on the $28.50
transaction, then the reconciled balance is off by $28.50 (which tells
me that it IS NOT just adding up the register to display the
reconciled balance but rather storing the reconciled balance
somewhere).

I next tried uncompressing the GnuCash file, finding the deleted
transaction (which I have since readded) and then editing the state to
'y'. This too makes the reconciliation balance off by $28.50 doing the
above.

Therefore, unless I can find the location where this "reconcilation
balance" is stored and edit that, I'm permanently stuck at being off
$28.50.
