The Air Supply bar is still there; it's just not visible because the code which restores the attributes to the status bar when the game is resumed after being paused, doesn't take account of the fact that the room has an air supply bar, which as a consequence is rendered in Black INK on Black PAPER!
If you carry on playing in such a room after pausing, the air can suddenly run out without warning! On the other hand, if you have the option of walking out of the room and back in again, then the proper attributes will be restored to the Air Supply bar (via the application of the 'Room setup' routine).
