Yeah, I freaked when I first heard about this last week, but fortunately I wasn't there yet and was able to easily avoid it.

At least it's not as bad as the Metroid: Other M bug: Even if you copy your game to another save file before encountering it, it won't save you; that glitch completely screws you into starting over.

Really? Is it even known what triggers the Other M bug? The trigger could be way ahead of encountering the bug, so that's why copying the save file doesn't help anymore (and MOM forces you to save almost all the time).

It has to do with backtracking in Sector 3 shortly after receiving the Ice Beam.  There's a room where a door opens after defeating enemies, and if you don't procede through it and instead backtrack, it makes another door shortly after that remain shut.
