Well, I don't have a corner reflector around (there used to be one
in the office down the hall, but down the hall is 150 miles away), but
intuition tells me that a corner reflector should not change the
polarization of the forward beam with respect to the reflection.

Yes, you're going to have to provide a low AC modulation (HZ) or so
but you can generate that with a little oscilator like a 555.
