I'm pretty sure that for the "old" reverso (which I own, and like for the most part), IF you were bringing up 2 2nd's on autoblock, that EACH needed to have their strand of rope with it's own separate locking biner.
(so you'd need 3 lockers all-in: one to attach Reverso to anchor, one each for each follower)
I'd imagine to avoid just such an incident as you describe.
Of course, it's been so long since I've climbed anything that I could very well just be talking outta my ass.
YMMV.
