Can you place a room tile that seals off the last open doorway on a floor?

Several players quote the same sealing rule, though the rulebook doesn't spell it out.

No. A tile that would leave a floor with no way to explore further is set aside, and you draw another. Only when every remaining tile would seal the floor may the active player rearrange that floor to open a doorway. A staircase doesn't keep a floor open by itself.
