So I recently breached the HFS in my most recent fort, and in an effort to contain the demons, I tried to floor off the stairs leading to the mines.

To my extraordinary dismay, I get the message of "Toad McFrogdemon has destroyed a rock floor", and I zip down to see a demon shredding to pieces and splattering his remains across the mines.

Anyone seen anything like this?

... Did the frog demon telefrag the floor or something, killing both?

[Bujold]

I'm guessing it was thinking "Man, those suckers are so not expecting this", then punched the floor from below. Of course, in a lack of foresight rivalling the dwarves' , he forgot where the heavy, somewhat dangerous broken pieces of floors would fall after that.

Was the floor completed when he destroyed it? Constructions still count as buildings while they're incomplete, don't they? That might let creatures with the building destroyer tag knock them down.

I believe this is the answer. Note how the message said 'rock door'. In my experience, the only reason it uses the more generic 'rock' is because it wasn't built yet. Similar to how an iron road will read as 'metallic road' until it's built.

door? floor?

which one of us misread?

It's floor.

This could actually make a great defence against deamons. Build several floors and suspend construction right before finishing.
