If it makes it easier (and to remove from discussion the ID piece), assume I've already identified the threat and then retreated to the bedroom to retrieve my gun, closing and locking the bedroom door behind me to buy myself some time. Let's focus just on the shooting through the door bit.

Sorry, but unless your door is transparent, that won't cut it.
You may have identified "the threat" and you may assume and maybe
really think that the person on the other side of the door is the same person, but you cannot be absolutely certain. Could be someone whose presence you were not aware of trying to get in with you to get away from the assailant. Unlikely? OK. Very unlikely? Maybe. Not possible? Can't bank on that.
Now for the sake of discussion, assume you're going to do it anyway. Where are you going to shoot? What makes you think you're going to hit the person?
Are you going to empty your gun? And then what?
By the way, one problem with FMJ is the risk of over penetration and possibly hitting a neighbor. That's why I don't use 'em.
That's also another reason to not cut loose with un-aimed shots.
