Hmm, “Both Toms are trapped in the mirror, Myst-style” would explain a bit of my confusion, to wit: how is it that the first invocation of the mirror was only visible to Voldemort, but the trap-invocation seems visible to both Riddles, even though Harry is under the True Cloak and thus not visible to the mirror? (On the other hand, if that’s true, how did the trap get sprung on him?)
It might have inverted the whole room, with Harry being caught up in it. The Cloak allegedly only evades the Mirror, not challenging its perfect reflection.

The trap-invocation is visible to both because they are in Dumbledore’s invocation of the mirror now, and Dumbledore is the one looking in.
Right, but the Mirror (in theory) has no power over anything not reflected in it, and Harry’s still invisible.
