[GNC] Last reconciled transactions have an error.

There is no issue with transactions not being reconciled and having 
later transactions reconciled. What matters is did those transactions 
that are reconciled really clear the bank? Do they explain how you got 
from the opening balance to the ending balance?

That is all reconciliation is doing—answering that question.

Otherwise, as Maf. noted, yes, you can just change their flag as needed 
and re-reconcile as needed.
