It sort of sounds like it quit moving right after the trunk lid closed and it thinks either the luggage thing has been moved or the the sensor's determining the trunk is closed have decided that it maybe ins't closed. Anything in your trunk right now that could have moved or gotten in the way anywhere?
I can get into the trunk by inserting the key directly into the trunk. It manually overrides the top locks. My trunk is completely empty aside from the trim pieces removed for the battery access and the trunk partition is fully locked and seated in the downward position.

The partition is seated and locked in place. There is nothing under it.



I will post pictures so you can see the position the mechanism is currently locked in.
