Same.
If the story is self-aware of the potential fridge horror with her being physically handicapped due to injury in a zombie infested dying world and downright lampshades it I'd say this isn't an example.
EHE sort of requires a lack self-unawareness creating potential Unfortunate Implications or Fridge Horror that's never properly addressed.
Pyrrhic Victory would count if Clem survival cost more then what she gained. She lost a leg but the alternative was death. The price was more then reasonable considering the alternative was certain death.

The YMMV page
for The Walking Dead: Season Four lists Esoteric Happy Ending under this example:
Thing is, the final episode acknowledges these issues. Clementine herself point-blank says that if she ever has to run again, then her missing leg will be a problem.
Which leads me to ask, can Esoteric Happy Ending be listed even when the work itself acknowledges that said happy ending has its caveats?
