does that mean that if that there is a general election then all bets are off in respect of any 2nd referendum / confirmatory vote? makes sense i suppose.

Yes - this suggest labours support for a confirmation vote is only in respect of a tory brexit and not a labour brexit (or any other brexit after a GE)
makes sense i suppose.
Does it? i think its mad - you either support putting it back to the people or you don't. A softer Brexit is many ways more pointless than a hard Brexit.

I think (but now can't actually find it) that the Margret Becket amendment is limited to this sitting of parliament.
As a 'labour deal' would require them first to win a general election, we would then be in another sitting and the amendment would not apply.
Edit - found it - "That this House will not allow in this Parliament the implementation and ratification of any withdrawal agreement and any framework for the future relationship unless and until they have been approved by the people of the United Kingdom in a confirmatory public vote."
