Another member of my clan found someone doing this:
Secret room glitch demo
My best explanation, maybe someone can add to this:
At the level of the water in the tunnel, two patch meshes meet. The problem with patch meshes is that they are one-sided. If you mean for an object made of patch meshes to be solid, you must first construct the object, then copy it and invert the normals to make the object solid on both "sides". Alternately, you can surround such an object with brushes textured with common/clip. From having decompiled Eagle to study it, I can tell you that Masheen did not do this when he made the underwater tunnel on Eagle. The combination of having this "crack" in the structure of the pipe and the automatic upward movement of surfacing out of water allows for this glitch to occur. Once a player is in the glitch, the unfair advantage comes because the patch mesh is solid for a player inside the pipe but non-solid for a player outside the pipe.

This is a map related issue and is up to the server admins to take any corrective action if they see fit.

That being said, I "HIGHLY" doubt any admin would like kindly upon this and is likely to earn the individual an INSTA-PERMA-BAN and a first class ticket to the hall of shame.

Who knows though, just like the Eagles Nest "glitch", some may take corrective actions whilst others ignore it deeming it part of the map.

As for correcting the map, I do not believe that member is active any longer. Though patch meshes are one sided.. they can also be encased with a weapon clip, or just clip off altogether.. which ever.

At LCDLC (my clan), we have decided to warn, then slap, then kick, then ban people who insist on exploiting this glitch. This is meant more as a caution to aspiring mappers to watch for these sorts of bugs.

At |WC|, we are tempbanning first-time offenders and permbanning repeat offenders using this glitch to kill people. This is an abuse of players and it's unfortunate that it's becoming a more prevalent problem, with some players even showing others how to do it.
I wish Masheen would have been around to actually go and fix the Eagle's nest invisible wall glitch and this tunnel glitch for 4.1.

He was here a week ago or so.
