So, when you use the mirror, he comments that he liked your old nose better. Does it's power exclude him, or is he just phycologically battering you for fun?

It could be both!

That bit of information about how it works comes not from the game directly but from a dev named Michael Hamilton who apparently worked on it. He posted this in the announcement thread for the DLC on the old forum (now archived)

The Mirror of Transformation is an insidious and twisted device. When you alter your appearance with the device it doesn't just change who you are, but it changes who you were and will be in the future. It selects from one of the infinite possible universes where you were brought up with a different lineage and twists that thread of history into the currently experienced reality. The ripples of this action affect your family and other people's memory of your appearance as well.

Oh, I must have misheard you in the video. I thought you had said that it only changed you for your own eyes and that you looked the same to everyone around you, so a disguise would never work.

Oh not quite, I was trying to say that nobody else noticed a change because everyone else would think that was the way you always looked.

I've never found it, despite looking - perhaps it's just a copy!
