WRT 'zero zero' ejector seats, what about if the aircraft is inverted?

Some reports suggest that the tail was broken off and separated from the fuselage.

Another report (from a reliable source I believe) suggested that no correction appears to have made to the bank from the break:-
he fails to pull out of the bank and lost altitude. I lost him behind the trees at about 50 feet after he made no obvious attitude correction.
