The same is true of all buildings.

Was there a ceiling above it? I'm wondering if the game considers it to be connected to ceiling/constructions above it.

No ceiling is required - the game simply forgets to deconstruct floating buildings when you remove a construction (it works correctly if the floor drops away due to a cave-in).

I can confirm that this still happens in 43.05.
