	Bound it with a union of:
* a sphere around the mirror, like you have
* and a sphere whose center is at the same place as the light source and
with a very small radius...

	This way it should be reflected and cast a shadow (and AFAIK this can't
be done with any combination of no_image, no_reflection...)
