By any chance are you using an orthographic camera for these scenes? In the past
(v3.61, if I recall correctly), I also ran into situations where an object would
suddenly just disappear. It had something to do with how close the ortho camera
was to the object. Moving the camera farther away solved it. I haven't seen that
behavior in awhile...but who knows?

For the black-box mystery, I would suggest (as others have) that you should
comment-out *large* sections of your main scene, to try and whittle down where
the problem might be. But leave your door macro/object intact in the scene, and
try and see when (or if!) the black box disappears. From all that you've posted
so far (and in your previous post), it *seems* that your macro is working
correctly, in and of itself. I'm betting that the problem lies elsewhere. ;-)
