But a reciprocal capturer is pretty awful to describe.

I had a feeling it would throw a wrench in the works but you did ask :)

So it seems a workable idea to define a new atom (say M for Mirror) that does not have a fixed move, but borrows the move from another involved piece. So cM would mean reciprocal capture.

This seems reasonable
