Didn't you say that according to the BaTh, the only reference
the photons have is the source? So how do they know that they
are supposed to _roll_ in a frame of reference where the source

They don't 'roll'. My wheels are symbolic graphs of the phase of the 'leading
edge' of a particular photon.
So let me rephrase:
How do your symbolic wheels know which frame of reference they
are supposed to _roll_ in, when it is not in the source frame?

The answer is obvious. The frame is that which moves at 'v' wrt the source.

I see.
According to the BaTh, two frames of reference are determining
the behaviour of the photons, namely the source frame and
the frame of reference which moves at 'v' wrt the source.

Wonderland physics at its very best. :-)
