I would apply the same courtesy to someone posting a video in the student review channel.One sticky point was the possibility of stealing someone else's thunder (or 15 minutes of fame) with a duplicate busking upload. My answer to that is to just let a bit of time pass between yours and someone else's duplicate upload in a busking thread.
The difference to me is that Student Upload Videos are more a learning tool. If you upload there, you're looking for specific feedback on your playing from the community (and hopefully Neil). The busking thread is more of a 'check it out' thread, where we're not necessarily asking for tips on how to improve. There is not as much 'thunder to steal' in a student upload.
I'd probably wait a few days on Student Uploads as well- but it's a different animal imho.
