Ok, so here's a much cleaner and somewhat labeled disassembly of the relevant code path.  Still digging through it, but if anybody else can help me make heads or tails of what it's trying to do (i.e. why it's trying to reset $212c to a hardcoded value), that would be quite helpful.  If not, I'll keep plugging away at it.  Basically, I need to figure out if there are any conditions where the sty $1C *should* get executed, so I can add in a conditional branch instead of just nop-ing it out entirely.

Code:
seek($248000)
    jsr check_module
    jsl $89B06E
    rtl
    
seek($248008)
check_module:
    lda $10
    cmp #$07
    beq ++
    cmp #$09
    beq check_submodule
    cmp #$0B
    beq check_submodule
    cmp #$0E
    beq +
    rts
check_submodule:
    lda $11
    cmp #$23
    nop; nop; // bne #$00
    cmp #$0D
    bmi ++
    rts
+;  lda $11
    cmp #$02
    beq +
    rts

Ok, so the bug was with the Lens of Truth code.  Here's my initial attempt at a fix.  One potential issue, the original code seemed to be returning a value in A, depending on the BG2 type (#$03 if "Dark Room", otherwise #$00), however, the only code that actually calls the subroutine immediately overwrites A without caring what's in it, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that code was vestigial, and in order to fit my fix into the same code space without having to relocate things, I'm not bothering to set A.  I need to test more, but I've confirmed that the stairs are fixed, and the Lens of Truth functions normally.

Code:
// pw_lens_of_truth_fix.asm
seek($248371)
    lda $1B
    bne +       // Check if indoors
    rts         // If outdoors, return
+;  lda $F2     // Check joypad 1
    and #$70    // Mask XLR
    cmp #$50    // Check for X+R but not L
    bne +       // If so, continue
    lda $1C     // Load layer enable flags
    and #$FE    // Disable BG1
    sta $1C     // Update layer enable flags
    rts         // Return
+;  cmp #$60    // If not pressing X+R
    beq +       // Check for X+L but not R
    jsr lens_of_truth_off // Not pressing X+L, lens off
    rts         // Return
+;  lda $1C     // Load layer enable flags
    and #$7D    // Disable BG2
    sta $1C     // Update layer enable flags
    rts         // Return

lens_of_truth_off:
    lda $1C     // Load layer enable flags
    ora #$02    // Enable BG2
    tay
    ldx $0414   // Check Layer 2 type
    lda $02894C,x // ??
    bpl +       // ??
    tya
    ora #$01    // Enable BG1
    bra ++
+;  tya
+;  sta $1C     // Set BG enable flags
    rts         // Return

I was just thinking about this when you posted the MoN's disassembly, since the only additional code checking for BGs is the X+R trick to disable a layer to find Parallel-tower-keys.
