Really? What attempt to enter the restricted section would be foiled by that countermeasure that wouldn't be foiled by the factors inherent in "restricted section"?
"I need access to the restricted section, I don't want another one of my friends to die"
I would suspect that an argument along those lines would be much more likely to succeed if Quirrell hadn't given his instructions.
Okay, in a very strict sense it does make it harder to access. Harry was unlikely to get permission if he asked before, and now he's more unlikely to get permission.
He still has a time-turner and the Invisibility Cloak. If he can get behind a stack long enough to put the cloak on and take it off, he can defeat 'keep an eye on him'.
Now, putting a door on the restricted section would actually provide a hindrance, but would also tip him off that there were probably new wards.
Tangent speculation: What are the odds that Harry will find the Room of Requirements and learn about its nature and then determine the limits of its capabilities?
