We both lack the social cues to recognize this behavior easily AND the
behavior mimics other social cues that, when responded to in error, result
in embarrassment.

It's a deadly combination.

I'm sure that some kind of common social cue will evolve to manage this, but
considering the small size of the devices and the lack of physical
manipulation needed to use them I think it will be fairly ambiguous and
subtle.

In the end I think we'll end up with some kind of "ignore me, I'm in my own
space" cue or gesture.  Something that says "I'm on the phone" or "I'm
listening to music" or "I'm watching on a movie on my retinal projector".
