Does the fact that petrified trees have been found to break through many layers of the geological column disprove that said column is a valid tool to use for accurately dating fossils or objects?

No. It only means that it is difficult to use that geological column to date that particular fossil which has managed to survive subsequent erosion of successive layers. Trees are generally quite long and because of this they may often be stretched through several layers.
