I don't thnk it matters where the dither command originates. It just tells the mount to move x arc-sec between exposures. The guide camera never stops so it just works out the correction and the next exposure begins when the guider error gets below a certain user adjustable threshold. The operative word is "between" exposures so it wouldn't be a spike or anything ever seen in the image.
