Upon returning to the starter hangar, I found the hangar door closed. I distinctly remember leaving it open. I went around the side, and the door opened instantaneously upon flicking the lever and began it's closing sequence. I flipped the lever again and the door stayed open.

I had this too. I went back to the starter hangar 2 times. Each time I had open it from the inside as you described.
