Well, in the NT it is clear Jesus returned to the apostles. It is clear that folks like Stephen saw him in vision. Wouldn't these events fall into the same catagory as Joseph's first vision?
Jesus can and will manifest himself privately to many. He will visit this earth and speak to his prophets. It was his pattern from the beginning. His second coming is an altogether different thing. He came once to dwell on this earth. When he comes again he will stay to rule and reign in all his glory and then the millenium will begin.
For LDS people there is nothing to reconcile.
