Since the offensive bot would be causing it to happen, it should not be a foul, but what if ball then gets wedged against inside of goal, against a deformed blocking element such that ball cannot pass further inward or be pull back outward.

That would put scoring on permanent hold for the offensive team, yet it would seem they caused their own demise by trying to force the ball past the goal blocking element. Yet the defender may have intentionally designed their blocking elements to specifically cause this kind of a result.

I think in the situation you described here, the defending team has caused the ball to be stuck in the goal. This would not be the fault of the offensive team, they are just trying to score. If I were a ref(which I'm not), I would probably call trapping here. The ball is "trapped" inside the goal, and this situation is being caused by the defensive team. Additionally, if the defender is unable to pull free, they could be subject to an additional technical foul and/or red card.
