Interesting! If the bishop’s own church is doing this, perhaps there are wider implications. After all, one of the excuses for moving the tabernacle off to the side or in a separate chapel was that the priest in the Novus Ordo Mass has his back to the tabernacle when he says Mass versus populum. Wouldn’t it be nice if this is a signal that the bishops have all gotten advance notice of the wording of the interminably delayed motu proprio, and that it is mandating an ad orientem posture for the priest in both the TLM and the Novus Ordo?

It would! But it's unlikely that BXVI will take such a dramatic step as "mandating" it when he already said that it could be disruptive to have such a dramatic break.
