I think those are currently being collected under the supertrope Game-Breaking Bug. If there are enough examples you could run a more specific subtrope through TLP.

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

Seconding Non-Standard Game Over, and adding that this is in fact also Unwinnable.

Only Unwinnable Joke Game means the whole game is unwinnable no matter what you do- the rest cover games where if you do 'X', then you are going to be reloading because you might as well be dead. This can be intentional (Unwinnable by Design), the result of a Game-Breaking Bug (Unwinnable by Mistake), or Unwinnable by Insanity (if you do some weird illogical set of actions you can get yourself stuck somewhere or Sequence Break your way around getting the Plot Coupon).
