I do not believe that pre-posted rest affects anything regarding x-day moves in PCS.

Pre-posted rest does affect reserve assignments, in the sense that the rest will cause trip coverage to search for pilots that can cover a trip without interfering with their rest before progressing to pilots with conflicting rest.

Pre-posted rest is/may be interfering with GS awards by denying them prematurely. I believe this is an ongoing point of contention.
Just to add to this, you are correct that pre-posted rest does not affect X day moves. In fact, strategically moving X days is a great way to get rid of a pre-posted rest.

May the 20th be with you.
