This is going to be interesting. My guess is something got jammed between the trunk lock latch mechanism and the latch on the lid. My car had a similar problem when a small screw fell in and did not let the tumbler push all the way in. It had resistance when trying to be pushed inward. The design is that the tumbler pushes a lever mechanism that tilts forward to release the trunk lid latch. If something got stuck there, and if the trunk is full as you say it was, it's going to be very hard to reach in to the trunk access panel (for the vacuum actuator) and unscrew the tumbler housing fasteners, which is what we did through the first aid kit with 3-4 12" extensions and a deep socket 10mm.
