I'm curious also. Suspect negative air pressure or something. You certainly don't want any blackflow from the holding tank.

Similar question: is there some sort of mechanical failure that would cause the entire lav to be awash in water? Say 1+ inch on the floor, but also sprayed all over the walls and ceiling? This was water, clear, neither yellow nor blue. It was my first trip to Asia, on an Asian carrier. LAX-NRT-KUL-MAA and I only used the the lav that one time, thinking bad thoughts about entire countries and my fellow passeners, or that the plumbing was just overwhelmed by the number of people in Y. Later I realized it was like some waterline blew and spewed water all over the lav. The return flight had no such problem, and after 3 weeks in India I had reprioritized anyway.
