Am I correct in assuming that the very bright spot with streaks of
light in the corner of the room, while it might look cool, is actually a
rendering error (light leaks from underneath the wall even though it
shouldn't) and shouldn't be there?

Yup.

Coincident surfaces maybe? If each wall is a different block, do these
blocks overlap?

I keep a section of my #default line ready for this all the time. Who 
knows who started doing it first. Maybe it's like the stacked planes 
trick for volumetrics. I'm pretty sure several people thought they had 
originated the idea (including me), only to find out later it had 
already been done. :)

The initial thing I used was a mesh, which was basically a box, with a smaller
box cut out of it to form the room, and open at the bottom. The floor was
raised a little bit to make it wasn't coincident with the bottom surfaces of
that mesh.

I later tried to do the same with CSG, again using a box with a smaller box cut
out, this time leaving the bottom closed.

Same effect.

I'm not sure which version I used for the shots I posted, but at the moment I
actually don't really care too much.

Yes, that is another of those things!
