As far as my understanding of MapCSS goes this sounds like a bug in earlier 
versions of Potlatch – the way this should work is that the later icon-image 
should overrule the earlier one, as should the later z-index.

I'm not sure that Potlatch supports this, because it's a MapCSS extension, but 
some renderers support layer identifiers.  This allows you to extend the 
selector by specifying a "layer" after selecting the node, your above example 
would look something like this:

  node[FCode=73002]::School { icon-image: usgs/school.png; z-index: 20; }
  node[Status=GAZ]::Background { icon-image: usgs/red28.png; z-index: 19; }
  node[Status=EDIT]::Background { icon-image: usgs/yellow28.png; z-index: 19; }
  node[Status=QC1]::Background  { icon-image: usgs/green28.png; z-index: 19; }
