It could be anything, IIRC I seem to remember a two seat Harrier that had a control restriction, so the captain ordered an ejection, after his seat went out the student noticed the force of ejection had cleared the fault and he flew back and landed.

Here is one that landed itself and returned to service after the pilot ejected.
