Hi, first time posting here. I was playing around with the console commands and found a level named "tutorial" and "tutorial_vs". I started up the former and it put me in a level that looked like something out of Portals. It was apparently a micro campaign, with a crescendo, scripted weapon spawns, a finale and even a rescue vehicle arriving (although the vehicle was simply a giant "ERROR" sign). There's alot of places that are missing textures and a bunch of ERRORs around, especially on the heavy Machine gun, so I'm guessing it was an aborted map.
Perhaps Valve wanted to make an introductory map but thought it was better to just let the players discover it as they went. It may have been intended for the original L4D, since no new weapons, melee weapons, or Bile Bombs spawn (all the weapon and equipement spawns seem to be scripted. I've played through it twice). A heavy Machine Gun does spawn in the level, but I think that might be due to the game replacing all gattling guns with HMGs. the New SIs spawn in it too. I think it should be Wiki worthy, or at least given a mention on one of the pages (especially Console Commands or Tactics).
