Has there ever been more than 1 case reported of someone who could no longer re-enter an unlocked restricted area?
The only case I'm aware of was of someone who had a 24 permission, took off just before the time expired, flew out of the zone, the time expired, and was not able to fly back in, leading to the drone dropping into the sea. And where I can see that as very poor programming on the part of DJI, I don't recall reading of any other similar instances. And since he was able to fly out, that contradicts your experience. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it seems to me there must have been some other extenuating circumstances.
Another situation that may or may not have been remedied in the latest updates happened where someone had placed up a geofence of some distance e.g. 100M. The drone went into ATTI mode and drifted beyond the geofence, then when GPS was recovered, it would not return closer than the 100M distance.
Since I'm not near any restricted zones I may ever want to fly in, I don't anticipate trying any of these scenarios myself.
But it would be interesting to see the log from your flight where you were prevented from leaving.
