Hello Jonathan,

this effect is very easy to achieve with a Python Plugin
that automatically places an empty at the correct point, which
then can be used as the source Ob: for the envmap. The Plugin
takes the Plane object, the Camera object and the Empty object
as input, and automatically keeps the Empty at the correct
position.

This will give perfect planar reflection.

You can find the script here:
