Can I place a Secret Passage on a turn when I take 5000 instead of buying a room?

Several players agree on the rule but it rests on a second-hand report; others read the rulebook differently.

No. A Secret Passage is placed together with a newly placed room. The rulebook line that seems to allow it when taking 5000 is described by several posters as a misprint, citing a second-hand report of the designer at BGG.CON. Some players read the printed line literally and allow a passage between two placed rooms on a 5000 turn, but that reading has less support.
