Not sure what you mean by "not overridden".  The ONLY thing that 
Postpone does is make any items you marked as Cleared will still be 
marked that way after the Postpone.  The only way to clear those now is 
to uncheck them in the account register.

I don't think it matters.  If you are certain the items you checked off 
are actually cleared (but you need to resolve something else), then 
postpone as much as needed.

The "Y" says you not only cleared ("C") this item but it has gone 
through a "Finish" so is totally reconciled.  Those will stick around 
unless you do something to clear them.

The "C" is either from you checking that column in the account register 
to mark it as Cleared, or, during a postponed reconciliation process, 
you checked that item off and then POSTPONEd rather than CANCELed.
At that point the "C" is sticky (saved) and won't change unless you 
uncheck it at some point.

Of course, at the end of the session, you could chose to not save the 
file and thus throw away all that hard work.  If you do save the file, 
then those "check" items are as permanent as anything else in GnuCash.
