With the size you are speaking of here I seriously doubt you will have any
concern of wood movement causing the mirror to break or pop out.  What I
would do is allow the opening to be 1/16" larger to make it easier to slip
the mirror in its recess.

Additionally, I would not use carpet tape - it won't turn a corner.  Go to
a glass shop and get setting tape.  Or, you could skip the tape and nail on
thick cardboard...sorta like you see on the back of notepads?  You could
use little round-headed copper nails...it'll be loverly.
