Under forward power the rudder acts just like the jet system on a personal
water craft, the boat turns because the flow is diverted by the rudder.
The same is not true when you are in reverse.   With the rudder hard over
you would get the result you described.   Suspect you gave a steering cable
or chain to failure.   Definitely need to check to see  if your emergency
tiller still works since that will help determine if you have an additional
reason that the cable failed (e.g. something jammed in between the strut
and the rudder.  )

Good luck, definitely curious to hear what you find out.
