I'd favor the suggestions that leave 'laugh' out of it.
One problem with hand_over_mouth combined with laughing is that a lot of it (beyond acceptable false hit thresholds, I'd think) would be of people stifling laughter rather than doing that characteristically ojou-sama gesture.

How about ojou-sama_pose, instead of laugh, if it's that big a deal?
I prefer this, if 'laugh' isn't involved. It would cover both laughing, speaking, and just having the arm/hand in that position.

It's pretty much Sun-Sun's default state, and covering_mouth should be enough. As for why she does it, it's arguably a different trope altogether (femininity vs. class).
If we're going to take "laugh" out of the equation, instead of ojou-sama_pose, would a shortened ojou_pose be better, or is it even correct?
+1 for ojou-sama_pose
Ojou without -sama suffix = bad idea. We can say ojou-sama, ojou-san, ojou-chan and depending of suffix meaning of the phrase is changing considerably, so - no.
The case of post #738534 is a bit different, I think, because at times characters tend to adopt this pose in a seductive fashion, sort of (post #730533, post #733460, possibly post #607366). My intent was to simply combine sleeves_past_wrists and arm_up / covering_mouth for them.
It looks close enough to the ojou-sama laughing pose but the purpose is really not the same, so it all depends on whether we want to group them all together or not. ojou-sama_pose + laughing where appropriate could work.
