[LSJ] Telepathic Tracking/Rotschreck/Majesty

[kushiel]

I looked and looked, and just got a lot of contradictory posts
about these questions. Sorry to ask again (I'm sure they've come
up before, numerous times), but I can't seem to find one definitive
answer...

Rules clarification on Telepathic Tracking says:
"Superior Telepathic Tracking may interrupt the end of combat
produced by Rotschreck. The target will still go to torpor when
combat finally ends. [LSJ 20011205]"

Rules clarification on Rotschreck says:
"If combat is continued or a new combat started, then rest
of the effect of Rotschreck is lost. [RTR 20020501]"

Can someone explain this to me?

Also, I'm pretty sure of this, but I just want to be positive. If
vampire A (acting) plays Majesty at superior, and vampire B shoots
him with an Ivory Bow and plays Rotschreck, vampire A does not get
to untap, since the Majesty never resolved. Correct?

But: If vampire A (acting) plays Majesty at superior, and vampire B
strikes with hands, and then plays superior Telepathic Tracking once
the Majesty resolves, vampire A does untap, since his strike was
resolved. Correct?

Thanks bunches, everyone.

Ruling on Telepathic Tracking says:
Superior Telepathic Tracking may interrupt the end of combat

produced by Rotschreck, which will cause the rest of Rotschreck's
effect to be lost (no torpor). [RTR 20020501]

The more recent ruling supercedes the older ruling.
The cited RTR provides more explanation.
