We must be missing something here.  There isn't a reconciled balance
that is stored anywhere.  You should be able to add the correct
transaction and re-reconcile.  You can add the single transaction, and
redo the reconciliation for the previous month.  Once you mark it, the
balance should be correct.

The only values stored for a reconcile are the date of the last
reconcilation and the last interval covered.  It is not computed to any
previously computed value, but it is a total of all transactions marked
as reconciled.
