I haven't yet traced this - but do this to reproduce:
1/ load inverter design and observe inverting output simulation
2/ delete lower connecting metal and observe output is now always high as expected
3/ delete the n diffusion and observe output is now always low - unexpected, should remain high
here's the diff between step 2 and 3 downloaded spice
seems the pmos out now gets connected to vss
figured it out with the cross section
once the ndiff is removed, the via connects down to the substrate
