Having finished the game with a new save, and going back to the one I was stuck on and easily figuring out how to get out of the area (took a shine spark trick to get out), I embarked on the mission of finding 100% of the items. During which, I have discovered why I couldn't open that door... and it wasn't a glitch. I had somehow bypassed the what was supposed to be the first Chozo Warrior fight, entirely! Having gone the path I was supposed to follow in the beginning, it was an easy kill, and the door works like it should now.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
