Maybe I'm missing something (in other words, I'm having another "senior moment"), but didn't the original post address the trail mirroring the lead, not the other way around?
I have found that if the lead makes the signal on a 3 below the free throw line (correctly) and the trail doesn't mirror it, the chances of the table not knowing it was a 3 are about 1 in 2 and the chances of the table at least asking about it are at least 1 in 4. I always mirror if I am trail, but never mirror if I am lead.
