If you're really desparate to do bounced light from a mirror, you could try this.
Create a second surface slightly behind the mirror of approximately the same shape. Doesn't have to be exact. Set this up as a diffuse reflector however you like - perhaps just plain white with DV = 100%.
Then set the actual mirror to be invisible to ray-tracing. Assuming you don't need to see the mirror in another mirror, it would work.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
