Yes, it has happened to me with my 2007 Ford Expedition. If the wiper is siezed in a position other than the normally off position, the motor will continue to strain to return to the off position. If this happens to you, make sure the rear wiper is turned off, then open the glass in the rear liftgate. This will disengage the motor from the wiper, and the motor should rotate counterclockwise to the off position. If the rear wiper is not too siezed, you should be able to manually move the wiper back to its off position before closing the rear glass. This will align the wiper drive pin on the inside of the glass with the drive slot in the motor. These need to be aligned to be able to close the glass. The faulty wiper arm assembly will likely need replacing.
Activate the rear wiper and open the upper tailgate while in mid-wipe. The wiper will stop, and you can replace the blade.

The rear wiper on Odysseys is different from regular wipers in that it is only the rubber edge of the blade that is replaced when the wiper stops working well. A replacement blade can be purchased at a Honda Dealer for less than $10. To remove the rubber edge of the wiper, you have to bend the spine of the wiper slightly backward and 'wiggle' the rubber component out from its position. Move the steel reinforcement pieces from the old edge to the new edge before reinserting the egde into the spine.
