Even in that case there's a problem of execution. The story fails at consistency. That is, if you want to use that sort of symbolic magical realism you have to make it that way from the start (think Pinguindrum or Utena). But if your setting is seemingly logical and then at the end you play your "magic" card, even if it's for the sake of delivering a symbolic message, you're screwing up big time.
You either play by the rules or you don't, but you have to be consistent and stick to your choice.
