To be honest, I find this stuff difficult to reason about, so here's my best guess:
If a soft fork doesn't have majority hash power enforcing it
and if a block gets mined containing a transaction that is invalid according to new rules
miners running new rules won't build on that block
If majority of hash power will build on that block
chain will split
and miners and nodes enforcing new rules will fork off from rest of chain
I don't see how the soft fork side of the split is ever reconnected with old rules side.
