What causes this dungeon to be possible in Unity but not Classic?

Hey all.
Today I was sent to The Crypt of Stadanius in Anticlere for a quest in Classic Daggerfall. I spent an embarrassingly long time in the dungeon's starting block only to find that it wasn't connected to the other interior blocks; there were no teleports, and there were no doors that led to another block.
Curious, I went to the dungeon in Daggerfall Unity and found that the block was now connected to the other interior blocks through a slope that led to another block.
Here are two screenshots of the automap, the first being from Classic and the next from Unity:
The general layout is the same dungeon, but it appears that Unity's starting block is lower here, connected to more rooms as a result. The way the layout is in Classic makes it impossible to complete if the quest spawn is not in the starting block, it appears.
I'm mainly making this post to ask if this is just a known issue in Classic, or if this is just a byproduct of differences between the games?
Thanks!
