We've never noticed trouble with the Down the Hall, just with the contra
corners when some in the group have not done contra corners the regular way
before. But perhaps instead of
Down the hall four in line (ones between the twos)
it should read
Down the hall four in line (ones between their original twos)
The progression happens later, at the very end of the dance ("twos cast the
ones down to progressed place")
Does this help?

Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle
And the merry love to dance. ~ William Butler Yeats
