In the first place I would confirm the abscense of continuity before reconnecting. Just to exclude stupid things.
If this was a real open, then I don't think a short made of solder (I leave the reliability discussion) would change the parameters: as long as you do not see burnt copper and the continuity is somewhat similar to that shown (if it is shown), it should be ok.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
