I have no idea if there was some sort of intended solution for BQ2, but I did manage to work out the puzzle. It was actually pretty fun and the first and only time I ever needed to make my own map for a video game.

In short, the in-game map is useless; ignore it. There are distinct rooms and the form a simple directed graph.

I worked out most of the map, here it is. Listed below are my own names for the rooms (they should match descriptions pretty well) as well as the rooms they connect with. Some might be missing. Bolded are the "correct" choices for a given room to get to the two useful endgame destinations: the lab (provides lore) and the witch.

This might be wrong as I have to read my handwriting

Start
S: Terrarium, N: Small Room
Terrarium:
N: Small Room, S: Well
Small Room:
S: Upside Down
Upside Down:
E: Table Room, W: Pillar Room
Pillar Room:
W: (Trapdoor): Small Room
Table Room:

E: Upside Down, S: ? (forgot), N: Outside
Outside:

N: Well, S: Small Room, E: Foyer
Foyer:
S: Mess Hall
N: I forgot
Mess Hall:
N: Terrarium, W: Well, E: Lab, S: Quarters
Quarters:

S: Upside Down, N: Servant's Quarters
Servant's Quarters:

N: Upside Down, West: Headmaster's Quarters
H. Quarters:

East: Pillar, S: Terrarium (??), W: End of Puzzle

In short, go S, W, W, S, E, N, E, S to get to the mess hall, then east to get to the lab. After that, you might get dropped off outside or in the chair room, and just need to resume from there to get to the end.

I am not sure if the descriptions were hints of the required directions, or merely descriptions of the rooms. If you spend too long in the maze you'll get shunted to the Mal fight.
I don't know if I missed anything, either.

There is indeed an intended solution based on the room descriptions, described in the final post here:

And several other people have already mapped it out, the intended solution is shorter than yours:
