Sounds quite logical to me to fake control points the way you do...it's faster than positioning all images next to each other and then creating control points automatically, and you have real control on the output. As for the mirror, it's anyway probably not 100% symmetrical nor horizontal...to me the best way would indeed to Gimp a fake mirror after the panorama is done. The errors on it are really obvious, but if you modify it and have errors on the wallpaper, it shouldn't be that obvious...
