Default Emergency stop - rear wheel lock?

Morning,

Just had a near miss. Had to emergency stop so hit the brakes and changed down into second - rear wheel completely locked up and the gearbox seemed jammed.

I've stopped suddenly before and the gearbox has struggled to change down (odd bit of clanging) but I must have gone quite some distance today before I had traction again, veering from left to right trying to stop it tumbling either way. Luckily the car didn't turn. Very rarely have I thought, "I'm coming off here" but this was close. In hindsight, I should have tried pulling the clutch in to release the rear wheel...

Anyone else experienced this on an SV?
