Can two houses on opposite sides of a public domain (reshut ha-rabbim) renounce domain to each other when non-Jews enclosed the space with a partition on Shabbat?

The Mechaber rules that bitul reshut does not apply in this scenario because the two parties could not have made an eruv before Shabbat. Bitul reshut is only a remedy where eruv was feasible.
