In fact it's at the heart of modern programming in the re-use of code with object oriented programming.
With some clever alignment you could make this maze largely modular and repeating with audio clues as one option but giving the player a second option of mapping thats only valid if the maze has sufficient complexity.
It allways bothered me that there was a degree of difficulty in cracking the original MYST spaceship if you had a hearing impairment or like many failed to have perfect pitch and that there was no alternative digital readout.
To cut to the chase false exits, alternative exits and loop backs are all part of the options in adding complexity to a maze the degree to which they are used sets the tone for the project and as such the final decision rests with the project leader.
It is also generally annoying, and annoyance should never be an intended design feature. =P
