Yes,
however that introduces another problem: boarders can get inside the room, but, as dalolorn mentioned, you can't follow them in to fight them
(since the overlapping room will intercept the click)
On top of that, that's just
one of the side-effects of this workaround. Another is fire spreading out of the encased room into the surrounding rooms, even though it is not connected -- it can get pretty confusing when you have no way to tell how much fire there is in a room because the fire sprites overlap
Also when there's no oxygen left, it's difficult to tell at a glance
which room is deprived of oxygen, whether it's safe to cross that space with your crew or not... And a bunch of other stuff I haven't found out yet, I'm sure.
@Sleeper
Yeah, given the size CE has reached, that would be a royal pain
I still
kinda have hope. I seem to vaguely recall Matthew mentioning something about taking a look at modding-related bugs after he's done with the vanilla ones... I even started a
list to help him out.
While there is a workaround for this, it has some pretty nasty side-effects (ie. boarders spawning in the room which you can't access, etc).
Though I' don't remember if it still does once you get crew. I'm pretty sure it still does. Encased systems before AE couldn't be manually repaired either. 
I guess it isn't really necessary then...
