Restarting emergency.service (as done by needsrestart) within the

Why do you run needrestart in emergency mode?

that is not the question here.
Restarting a service should not be broken, and having a completely unusable system which seems to be locked but it is not is clearly a security issue, and not being able to return away from this is a grave bug.

Actually one should discuss if a CVE number should be assigned here.
