I don't consider it a DXM at all, as you say, the mystery of her eye has been developed throughout the story. She didn't just whip the eypatch off and say 'Surprise!' in this episode, we've seen her without it multiple times and she's talked a fair amount about her doll eye already. If anything, the big reveal about her eye has been built-up to this entire time.
If you want to see what a real DXM looks like, make sure you finish watching another show which will end this season, and you'll know exactly which one I'm talking about if you're following it and you watch the ending!

So, I can't find fault with the show on those grounds. However, I will agree that the most intriguing aspect of the phenomenon is that almost everything it does has a natural explanation even if it's a supernatural occurrence, while Mei's "magic eye" can only be explained supernaturally. Again, I'll give Another the benefit of the doubt for now, but it may end up degrading the quality of the show and/or the show's conclusion.

Again: Yomiyama Misaki appearing in the class portrait of the original Class 3-3 has no natural explanation. The entire show is built on a supernatural premise.
