Did you try the button in overhead and remote?

When you grab the handle (and press pad) if it doesn't unlatch then you can't open it.  Once it unlatches you can lift manually.

I think you hit it on the head.  Either no power to the lock or the lock itself failed.  Now why it happened with just a battery replacement is beyond me unless it's a function of the BCM.  Maybe Dave can weigh in.
