The rules, in this case are pretty clear. The spell never mentions mirrors or reflections, it “summons illusory duplicates." Spell names aren’t indicative of their mechanical effect. See Chill Touch.
There’s also vampire wizard statblock that has Mirror Image on its spell list.
It would be funny if the spell just failed though.
There is a spell for these types of shenanigans and it’s called Mislead
It’s a classic. I wish the movement didn’t require your full action though - the spell is level 5.
