Did Mythbusters account for the situations where the glass panels of the windows were deformed enough to act as concentrating mirrors?

No, because that not what the Greeks were using. I don’t doubt that a window could concentrate light enough to melt nearby plastic; but I don’t believe that you’re going to burn a ship to the waterline in a combat situation using a polished metal mirror...
