Large glass in a gobo is very common in professional studios, though maybe a little less so in small project studios. See photos below. More to the point, we offer this as an option for customers that want it. As Jim said, if you put the reflecting surface in the mic's null you avoid any problems. Also, our window is made of plexiglass, not glass, so it reflects much less than regular glass.
