Yes; I think that the trouble is due to the 'release linkage', rather than a binding clutch. However my late father's much loved, and well used Vito-b failed in the way I described. A colleague had short loaded some reloadable cassettes, or marked them in error 36 instead of 20 exp. Father just wound on as usual and as the tail of the film was well taped, it all jammed up. I did not consider the shutter state. Once I had cut the film, the rewind clutch freed and I could pull the film off the take-up spool.
