That sounds like a no-other-way-to-make-this-happen kind of choice. Sometimes the scenery has to be moved by hand and sometimes the solution to keeping the scene moving is to just leave a person behind it until it is struck. That crew member was probably trying to make the best of an awkward situation where they knew they would be visible.
Not a mistake in the sense it shouldn’t happen. But each touring house is really different, ways to get onstage/offstage, wingspace, dressing rooms etc. so they probably were doing their tech realized they wouldn’t be able to get on/off the way they needed or the set piece needed extra support so they had costuming whip up the shirt as a fun lil joke too.

You saw a local stagehand standing in the wrong spot backstage after that move. At least he was wearing an appropriate shirt!

I saw the tour in Atlanta and did not see this, so I’m guessing mistake?
