unable to proceed through infirmary door in Tau

[punkonjunk]

figured it out. If I didn't look at the button after I pushed it, I could advance into the room normally. Bewildered that this was possible, I tried it several times, and yep, if I look at the button when the door locks into place, crash. if I turn around and walk backwards and spin away from the button, or back-to-the-button and awkwardly strafe in, it's fine. Then I'm good.

I also had a similar event occur with the fish after the WAU - I walked to the door, and it froze, so I walked backwards out, to see if I could see the door closing and the fish coming, and it froze repeatedly.

It seems like some of the in-game events are some pretty weird cats and just can't handle being observed.
