0004763: Nobles with multiple bedrooms gain unhappy though from sleeping in inferior one
If a noble is marked as the owner of more than one bedroom where one is good enough to meet their requirements (as shown on the noble screen) but the other is not, they will sometimes sleep in the inferior room and gain unhappy thoughts.
Give a dwarf a hovel; simplest cheapest possible room. Ennoble them to a position with minimum room requirements (eg, promote to baron, wait til elected to mayor, etc). Mark them as owner of a new room that meets their requirements, leave their old room assigned to them. Wait for them to sleep in it, which may happen very infrequently but does happen.
I've seen this happen three times now. The most recent time involved a countess sleeping in her old room, and being so traumatised she went berserk.

Forcing the noble to sleep in their better bedroom by deallocating their old room works fine to deal with the issue if you catch it in time.
