No indication that any of the returning matter ever made it beyond the event horizon but how wild would it be if matter can come back from that somehow, would shatter current understand of the phenom.

It would be amazing if that happened! We desperately need to be proven wrong somewhere if we want to develop a theory of quantum gravity.
