Namaste,
One would think that, but surprisingly, the bhAmatikAra (a proponent of
avacCheda vAda and a supposed opponent of pratibimbavAda) says
- अन्यथा चैतन्यच्छायापत्तिं विनान्तःकरणवृत्तेः स्वयमचेतनायाः
स्वप्रकाशत्वानुपपत्तौ साक्षात्कारत्वायोगात् -
he does not seem to refute chaitanya pratibimba.

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
