Missing a Kingdom turn isn't the end of the world, unless their kingdom is already on rocky ground. Relying on one character to get you home to do your business, is a recipe for failure.
That said, it would be your call as a GM whether bathing the statue in dracolisk blood would work. RAR would say no, but what is the intent of the rule?
I see two intents of the rule:
A) "it sucks to be turned to stone, let's imbed some solution", the gameplay motivation.
and
B) "prey entirely within the basilisk returns to a fleshy form", the gameworld-logic explanation for the blood-caused restoration to flesh.
I see nothing about the Dracolisk that changes B (which admittedly, I just made up), and similarly nothing that changes A.
If you choose to have the Dracolisk's blood not restore fleshiness, then perhaps the clever Dracolisk keeps a stash of basilisk blood handy, perhaps in triangular pink bottles.
The dracolisk is half-basilisk, so it can be argued that its blood is basilisk enough to be used for the "restored to flesh" effect. Or at very least a Stone to Flesh effect with Fort DC 15 to survive the effect.

As a GM, I would rule that the Dracolisk blood would work. Otherwise that's just the fastest way to piss off your group.
Edit: I know it's not exactly rule based, but the Intent is likely that it does work that way.
