I don't care if it's a mistake or a clue. Writing a book of this sort, and then dropping this test on us, makes him 100% fair game for treating all mistakes as clues, poking at them, and generally getting any advantage we can out of their existence.
Agreed. However, if we are in the mirror (or being mislead about location in some other way), I would expect things to make more sense after coming to that realisation. So far, they don't.
I'm trying to think up all my other confusions, and other evidence for mirror scenarios to try to make it all fall into place.
The mirror seems too mysterious to have finished its role in the story - Harry can understand more of the false words of comprehension, but he hasn't twigged yet. What could understanding "I show not your face but your coherent extrapolated volition." help with now?
Dumbledore has learned not to cave to the terrorist's demands - seeing Harry as a hostage, I expected Dumbledore to trap them both.
Hermione was resurrected awfully easily.
I will go looking through other people's solutions for more evidence.
I'm sure that he would have if he could have. But with Quirrelmort hidden by the Cloak, only Harry would have been trapped.
