I fussed over this for a while and ended up deciding to omit the note entirely. The first note would say that the feature regressed, the second note would be some new category (advance? unregression?) showing that we more or less reverted the second note. It seemed to me that the correct course of action in that scenario would be to withdraw the note, so that's what I've done.
