I think it's definitely missing from the priori incantatum.  First, the failed 
AK did cause damage.  It caused a lightning bolt shaped scar on baby Harry's 
forehead.  Did baby Harry cry?  I don't know. Surely there should've been 
something.  Bright light?  A lightning bolt shape?  The rebounded curse also 
ripped Voldemort from his body. Surely that caused a scream?  Whether that 
counts as coming from the wand or not, I'm not quite sure.
