This is not This hold but if we said something about that hold you probably wouldn't think we're talking about That hold but this hold which would be completely wrong.

Scripting bug: In 1S1W, the roaches become unbrained if Beethro steps on the yellow door or beyond.

EDIT: Demo (spoiler alert)

As said in the chat, it's not a scripting bug, because the roaches are not scripted and they become unbrained due to the scroll.
It's also not really a bug per se, sure I didn't know that but if I knew about that I wouldn't change it anyway :). The solution from your demo works even if you don't move outside.

Because this is skell, there are hidden levels.

But how do you access them?

I suppose it’s a good time to post a review of This and its companion hold That.    I
have to admit having two intertwined holds like this is  an original concept I  can’t
say that I’ve seen anything like it before.  The solutions to  one hold don’t  figure 
into the solutions for the other or anything like that.  But if you go and check  out 
the rooms in one of the holds, then you’ll notice that the corresponding rooms in the 
other one have very similar puzzles.  In addition to that, there appears to be a meta-
puzzle that involves the two holds.  I don’t think anyone has figured out this puzzle
yet, but it seems interesting.   The main puzzle rooms should be approachable to  any 
DROD fan and are probably at the 5 brain level. They're lots of fun. The layout hints 
at skell’s previous hold, Narrow Perspectives. All in all, I’d have to say that skell
Did a great job on this one.                                                        ?

So I guess it’s time to request a full spoiler post for the This and That metapuzzle.

I am planning to write a full retrospective of the creation of This and That and the puzzles and stuff. Someday!
