These latter three are not resolutions, and IMO should be removed.
Items with those "resolutions" should be considered still active (or
perhaps "pending" auto-closure).

Specifically, the "name" field of the corresponding items in the
relevant class should be edited so that in legacy issues containing
them they are displayed as "- not yet resolved -" or "- no selection -".
(I'm not sure it's wise, or even possible, for multiple items to have
identical names, though.  If not, they can be uniquified in some way.)

Then these items should be retired so that they won't appear at all in
menus.
