Nah, nothing wrong with giving the reader help. I've actually had an extremely nitpicky guy tell me that he read some of my dialog to his friends in the wrong voice because of where the hints were placed. So I usually have my character gestures in front of the dialog instead of behind it.

That can create a redundancy problem though. Repeating any sentence structure too much can make the prose tedious.
