The last scene that even related to that whole thing was between John and Martian Manhunter and no one else.
So, I'd think that if they were going to retcon it or anything, they'd probably use characters with more of an investment in Xanshi than the New Gods. That's why I don't see them rewriting that moment, because they have had plenty of opportunity to do just that, what with John's romantic involvement with Fatality and all. The whole point of their romance after all is the very fact that Fatality forgave him for destroying her home world, making the transition from one of his villains to one of his love interests. Plus, I don't see them retconning just by the virtue that that very moment is seen as a pretty important event, not only to John Stewart, but in the history of the DC Universe (it actually made a list of the 75 most important moments in DCU history).
