Do you mean that they stay post-alveolar even when in the company of something that would make it come forward, like /s/, so that the cluster /st/ would in effect be all retroflex? Not applicable to Valdyan, anyway, because Valdyan /t/ and /d/ are alveolar and (in this sense) not explicitly so; fricative /t/ is (dental) /T/, not (lost my ASCII-IPA again) /voiceless alveolar lateral fricative/.
