When you move onto a down yellow door off of a on/off pressure plate (which switches the door closed) which briar would have grown onto if the door didn't close, you get killed without briar appearing beneath you. In addition, the briar would have been eliminated by the door closing, so it may be a glitch that you die, and not that it doesn't appear.

Not a bug - briar always grows before depressed pressure plates rise. The door then closes and destroys the briar underneath you, as you noted.

Monsters can do this too - you can move off of a depressed pressure plate onto a yellow door, and a roach can kill you, and then the yellow door can raise itself underneath the roach and your dead corpse.

(This is how I see it as of now, as someone who hasn't actually seen the game's source code.)
