We know that Earth Meld and Majesty untap the vampire (at superior)
before combat ends, thus leaving the vampire untapped even if someone
playes Psyche! at superior.
Bond with the Mountain (and Meld with the Land) lack the 'before
combat ends' text.
Following the RTR:
If the strike does something in addition to ending combat, that
something takes place just after the combat ends. [RTR 19970630]
and a ruling that goes:
things that happen after combat ends do not happen if combat does not
end or is restarted.[0]
then we have psyche! at superior, and presumably Telepathic
tracking(?) both negate the untapping portion of Bond with the
Mountain and Meld with the Land.
Correct?

Rötschreck doesn't set up an event to happen after combat.
It ends combat and does something else. That something else is
lost if combat does end or is restarted.

I presume LSJ meant '...if combat does NOT end or is restarted.'
It doesn't make much sense otherwise.
