It sucks. I'm the opposite of a casual player - to such an extent that I did all 6 subclasses before I even knew there was an emblem, much less that I had missed out on it.
I can't imagine Bungie will just shrug their arms and say fuck it. I mean they did that with people whose emblem slot was full when they first killed Skolas or cleared Trials but at least you could do those activities again. Missing a reward from a 1 time activity and doing nothing about it would be even more uncool.
In this particular situation I'm sure someone at Bungie will think "this is a bug which affects only a small subset of the population". Someone else will hopefully counter with "yeah, the most dedicated subset" and make sure it's fixed.
Yeah that's the problem because I was just playing constantly instead of figuring out if I should be playing. Although I may not wear it all the time. I gots to have my precious. Hopefully this situation gets resolved but i'm going to wait on the rest and just do the stranger's rifle bounties.
