This made think of something! I would love to see a beta of any of the first three Spyro games uncovered. Wouldn't that be just awesome! It could as popular as the Sonic 2 Beta (Possibly)!=)

The secret sub-level was probably leftover from an idea that never got completed.

Re: Lost Portals: Strange Glitch leading into a Stranger Mystery
I personally think that it was to battle a dinosaur boss of some sort to get an egg. I recall that on the Agent 9 first person sequence, you get an egg for completing it, but I think there is an egg you can get (Sergio I believe) that's in one of the buildings in the Agent 9 area that you are intended to get after beating the FPS part. I believe that this could have been the intended egg, but they didn't want too many mini games and just put the egg in that area instead. OR it was a graphics problem. Maybe something crashed?
The point is, they wouldn't have put it in game unless they were already almost certain of using it, this is way past the design phase of the game. They removed it at some point after the design phase. Who knows. I'll email Insomniac for some answers.

Re: Lost Portals: Strange Glitch leading into a Stranger Mystery
Solved this mystery. I emailed James at Insomniac, and got this answer back:
"Something that was just cut due to time concerns. Getting the game finished and out the door is always a huge challenge, and sometimes little areas don't make the game when you do that! That particular area was planned for a boss battle to win an egg. The boss was never made, so we just hid the egg in Agent 9's arena. Cool that you found it though!"

Re: Lost Portals: Strange Glitch leading into a Stranger Mystery
I love it when game developers tell you secrets. Some companies refuse to let information out on their betas. The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 beta is a prime example of total secrecy even when the game is 13 years old.
