In the rooms where there are stairs, the large numbers of rats can occasionally *push* you behind a door and transition. Doors also autoshut, sadly this often closes off your option to retreat-or can cut a party in half in the regular rooms.
Also, the last fight takes place immediately after transitioning. I'd seriously suggest moving that fight up a little-perhaps just an antechamber so you're not facing the boss immediately after exiting the stairs. What wound up happening last night was two players made it all the way through without serious trouble until they got to the last room.
2 rounds later, (due to critical hits not any bugs) we were dead. Problem was, we had no time to realize just how badly we were outnumbered or to flee, prepare, adjust. Not that much time would have saved us, part of the problem here though.

I wholeheartedly agree. Particularly as the fight occurs directly on the stairs, creating an uncomfortable camera angle.
Also, due to the small rooms and the nature of the foes, the pathfinding there is rather bad, causing a lot of attacks of opportunity when the charactters decide to run a circle around the entire pack to get to the rat they were already standing next to.
