If this is directly explained somewhere, I can’t find it. I see two possibilities- something to do with leaving the room via travelling back in time, or something to do with their future versions getting back in the room immediately after they leave.
Their future persons are in that room, under the Invisibility Cloak. The skipped one is the one that detects it, because it’s awkward to interact with your future self.
It’s a clue to readers who haven’t read the whole arc, yet, of what all Quirrell plans are.
