I believe there are a couple of mistakes here.

"'I was thirteen, Severian, and I had a friend named Domnina....'"

Thecla was thirteen, Domnina's age is not given.


"'You must take my word for it that at one place in the Hall of Meaning 
there are two mirrors.'"

The mirrors here are never referred to as Father Inire's. Indeed, 
Domnina's sighting of a liminal being in them surprises him and his demo 
takes place at the many-mirrored chamber,  so it is unlikely the two 
mirrors in the Hall of Meaning are specially associated with Inire any 
more than any other feature of the House Absolute is.
