Eh, no ;-) As I said above, _I_ would expect "At the mini-roundabout turn X",
and be very happy with such instruction.
That fits seeing the roundabout sign, and my experience driving over it.

Yes, and the size. Having the roundabout rule on a mini_roundabout,
the driving _experience_ is that you have to give way to
anything already on the junction.

This would make routing more complicated and not simpler.
Now you would have to route over the area.
