Comment (by sluicebox):

 Hello! Thank you for reporting this and providing footage; once again
 speedrunners make the best bug reporters. =)

 I think I see what's going on here, but I don't know the trigger to
 reproduce. If you have full footage of one of your failed runs that would
 be a huge help.

 The problem is that the Walk cursor gets screwed up and thinks it's the
 Exit Right cursor. We've already seen a game-breaking script bug with the
 SQ6 exit cursors: #11640 (I'm really hoping my patch for that bug didn't
 cause this...)

 I believe that this bug occurs much earlier than the elevator. I watched
 one of your speedruns, and the previous Exit Right cursor is outside
 Fester's, and you didn't use the Walk cursor again until the elevator. I
 suspect that the cursor broke outside Fester's, and if you'd try to walk
 anywhere before the elevator you wouldn't have been able to.

 Footage of a full failed run would show where you're mousing and clicking
 in the rooms before the elevator, and I suspect that's going to be the
 subtle trigger.
