Dithering only temporarily puts a bump in the plot, because it shifts the star by some small, random amount, then the guiding centres on the shifted star within a short time usually (seconds, 10s maybe?). PHD2 labels dithers in the plot so you know a dither from other jumps in the plot (eg from backlash, PE, wind etc).
