Tails don't wag dogs here. Our approach is to set the context in the field tags and not to repeat it in the gloss. If apps fall short, so be it.

+<gloss>one's hand</gloss>

Add this to the list of jisho.org quirks(well, probably not just them).  I don't know how well the [fld] tags are supported by various consumers of jmdict, but there is a danger in relying on them entirely for disambiguation. 

Usually a missing [fld] tag would just remove a little information from the gloss, so I hope not to make a major issue over this, but for a kanji beginning with "手", "one's hand" is completely ambiguous.

Besides jisho.org, weblio doesn't include the [fld] info either.

i was waiting for you to make a call.  i could go either way on it, but i lean towards rejection.  i'm more likely to accept 会議中 than 入浴中, simply because 会議中 pops up on signs a bit.

Saw at museum.

Yes, 56 hits, many of which are false. Some are for the kajseki dish. Note that Google images relaxes the "..." binding, so the numbers can't be trusted.
I vote NO.

only 60 real google hits, the overwhelming majority are false positives.  as it doesn't appear to be idiomatic in japanese, i'm not sure it's anymore useful or needed than something like "lion's head doorknocker" would be in english  (e.g., take your pick of designs from this page http://fusuma.homepage.jp/01/040/010-1/post-36.html, how do you decide what obscure terms are worthy of inclusion?)

100+ Google hits, 400+ Google image hits – first page or two illustrates exactly what this is.

* Saw at museum today (exhibit on metal fixtures).
* Admittedly a bit technical and obscure of a term, this is a very common design in traditional Japanese doors, and of course it has a name.
* It also appears to be used for a kind of kaiseki dish, but I can’t figure out what the dish is.
