I'm ok with doors you have to apply.
And obviously hidden exits are applied automatically, yes :)

That is indeed confusing.
IMO, statues you can walk on - else how could you see the bigger picture of 
the statue? :D
As for buildings, things like view restrictions were introduced, IIRC, to give 
more depth.
For blocking, yes, that could be removed.

No idea whether vampires actually attack weak walls or not :)
But under generator should be ok, yes.

For the patch, submit to 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=313833&group_id=13833&func=browse [and 
send a mail here to warn of it, so it doesn't get forgotten!] or send
