Is this system guaranteed to not run into some sort of deadlock situation if your neighbor also has one of these installed?

  Pretty much. Unless your neighbour has enough generating capacity to power the entire section of the grid your connected too (which would blow every fuse in the supply unit, and melt every cable between them and nearest transformer). Any power either you or your neighbour tired to put into the grid would be immediately consumed by all of your other neighbours (and of course your own appliances) that it would drag your AC waveform completely out of spec (I.e. it should be 230V AC, but your equipment can only supply enough juice to support 0.01V AC). So you’re inverter would shutdown due to lack of recognisable grid compliant waveform. Either that or catch fire from trying to drive thousands of amps (from 100 acre solar farm on your balcony) into your power socket, which would also catch fire, along with all the cable in the wall, well, you get the idea. In short physics and simple supply and demand ensure that no home scale inverter would ever be able to maintain an even vaguely compliant AC waveform during a blackout.
