I have always been interested in that passage. I also could not figure out why he wanted to get through that door so badly. Treasure? Doubtful. My theory was that perhaps he was hemmed about by the dead and the door was the only way of escape that he could see, so he attempted to claw his way through in order to get away and safe his own life. It's such an interesting part, for me at least. Just weird feeling.
