2009 Volvo XC90 3.2 AWD, second-row 40/20/40 seat with factory integrated child booster

The center seat belt worked normally (or at least wasn’t obviously stuck). I folded the center seatback forward to use the pass-through. As I raised it back up, the center seat belt retractor locked. The belt continued retracting until it became taut, and now the seatback is trapped in the folded position because the belt is too short. The belt will not extend at all, retract any further, or give any slack. The webbing is not twisted or caught on anything.

Has anyone experienced a locked center seat belt retractor on the folding center seat? Is there a known way to release it, or does the retractor need to be replaced?
