Ray, thank you for your advice. I should have listened to you. In the mean time, I was too worried and decided to remove the leaf in question. After some 20mins of gentle cutting, with scissors sterilized in bleach previously, the results are on the attached photos.

There was nothing really beneath the brownish part of the leaf, the connecting tissue of the adjacent leaf is completely intact in its purplish color. I guess it could be that some water did get trapped there, and I didn't see it, creating a ground for multiplication of bacteria/fungi. However, as it dried out and the RH is rather low in that room the conditions quickly became unfavorable and the microorganisms slowed down before they were able to deeply infect the plant.

I did not put cinnamon on it as the "wound" is extremely thin and I believe it will dry out quickly soon considering the low RH. The roots are just beneath that point and some cinnamon could have gotten trapped there and dried them out, so I decided not to dust it.

I hope the little plant survives this operation of mine.
