Oh, right.... duh! Well I was going to make maps by district from in-game images before all of this excitement started. For now, we'll use yours.
NEW DEVELOPMENT: I thought I witnessed this occurring days ago but now I'm certain. The simple glyphs in D06 near the Elite bodies just disappeared on me.
I think it may have to do with being in combat.
If this was only a loading error, could any of the other disappearing / changing glyphs be due to a similar issue? (magic wall?)
It might mean that a lot of the shifts that we thought were intentional are merely accidents.

Hum, i believe now that's definitly a glitch :
look at this secret room, and look in the symetrical district of the Sector 8 (where the secret room is) : sector 3.
Go to Sector 3, and there, you can go into the equivalent room of the secret one, which is not secret. Within, you'll find every answer to these "lines directions" : that's just a random observations, because of trees that are not in the secret room, etc.
Sorry to say that ; but we still could notice that symetrical observations, we could find something !

Sane888, this is why I referenced the matching room in Sector 3, everything you see in the Sector 8 room should be there in Sector 3 but will have other objects on/around it.
If I had more time I'd be looking at what glyphs are visible via mongoose headlight as I believe the glyphs appear when appropriate lighting conditions are met not just in VISR mode..
Ok, I guess I need to start believe it is only a glitch, 'cause it is starting to look the only possible answer, why that door is opening.
I don't know If anyone has found this yet, but I was walking through sector 5 when I noticed that all the doors in the area near the place where the rookie first starts were opened. Curious, I wandered inside, and found that every door that had something behind it was open (open as in gone, like the secret door, not just openable). This leads me to believe even more strongly that the secret door is no more than a loading error. Doors to rooms that Bungie simply did not use. I have not yet found the trigger that led to these doors failing to load, but I had just traveled from sector 6 through sector 8.
The more I see these kinds of things (missing doors, missing Optican booths) the more skeptical I become.

If you look around the rest of the area, you can see a couple of other doors that have also failed to load.
By no means am I an expert, but what you are describing sounds like different permutations of scenery spawning.
