I'm 99.9% sure that's still a touchback. The ball doesn't need to land "in" the end zone to be a touchback.
I'm not sure about that ruling, myself. I know in this instance, its would be difficult to overturn a call if the ball doesn't land in the EZ and to be certain that it broke the plane of the goalline.
