It turns out the same problem occurs using 386MAX, but there is a solution.

Call Central Points BBS (can't find the number at the moment) and get their
updated version of mirror then use it like the following:

c:\dos\mirror c: d: e: f: g:
loadhi c:\dos\mirror /tc /td /te /tf /tg

Somewhere I read that mirror does some stuff that simply needs to be fixed by
getting the one that is compatible with a memory manager.

The new mirror and the splitting of the command into two lines solved it 
for me.
