This difference between "rounded" and "angular" may be explained by that the q is a superposition of a c-like shape and a vertical. We discussed that in the "decomposition" thread. So when the scribe follows the superposition literally, a rounded-q results, while when he "forgets" about the composition and treats it as a shape on its own, an angular-q is produced. So, two graphical varieties of the same thing.
Regarding f58v. Good example in respect of multipass. I consider the two y shapes to be parts of two blocks. The left one is the last symbol in the line of one block (column), while the right one is the first symbol of the line in another block (column).
At a glance it seems that there are more than two columns in this folio.
