There's a pattern here. All the productions that have Munkustrap sort of send Misto to deal with Tugger are London-based but after the original London production closed.

The thing with the "terrible bore" line is that the reason that Misto, and just Misto, says it, got lost over time and space. Originally, early in the London production, Misto sings lead in Gumbie Cat, right before Tugger shows up. Misto says the line because he's been upstaged.

Bust, if Misto wasn't the center of attention right before Tugger crashes the party, it doesn't quite work the same. This is why the Broadway production, which first but Munkustrap as the lead in Gumbie Cat, also added him to the "terrible bore" line. Broadway-based productions, depending on the era and sub-category, usually had some combination of Munkustrap, Alonzo, and Misto say the line. But Munkustrap would be consistently included. There are variations where he says the line by himself.

But, then the London version switched to having Munkustrap sing Gumbie Cat, while still having Misto say the "terrible bore" line by himself. They had to come up with other reasons for Misto to say the line when he wasn't the one being upstaged.

I think the version 1998 VHS went with was what was generally being done in the later years of the London production. Tugger kicks a ball in Misto's direction and this pisses him off, so he retaliates by crashing his number.

Jacob Brent has said that he was supposed to catch the ball, but the editors used the one take where he messed up and didn't catch it. This actually makes sense. Misto is caught off-guard and looks awkward. It adds to Misto's motivation to say the line.

But, apparently post-London, starting around the time of the Berlin production, they switched things up again. Munkustrap is the one being upstaged but he, for whatever reason, doesn't want to confront Tugger personally, so he sends Misto to deal with him, and the "terrible bore" line is what Misto thinks dealing with him means.

recently there was a video uploaded to youtube of cats, oasis of the seas 2014, and there's just the funniest interaction during rum tum tugger where munkustrap visibly calls mistofelees over to whisper in his ear, and then misto goes over to the front to say the 'terrible bore' line, and when tugger fails to react negatively in any way, munkustrap doubles over in exasperation. absolutely hilarious but do u know if this happens in any other productions too,,

I heard about that video getting posted! Though I haven't watched it yet-- but what you're describing sounds like what you see in other Oasis boots, so I have to assume it's a bit from that production. You can see something similar in this 2022 performance.

I know of a few other productions that can feature Munk sending Misto into the Trenches™ but most don't play it up for laughs with Misto being reluctant or Munk being exasperated; Munk in particular usually doesn't have any reaction at all to Misto's failure.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say if you have a really big dog you can barely control and it freaks out around people, cats, and other dogs, and you bring it to the vet to wait for an indeterminate amount of time around everybody else you are a grade A asshole. Especially because I have had to call a vet for a home visit in this city before, and it's not actually that expensive! Just because you are used to and willing to put up with your badly trained/socialized dog doesn't mean the rest of us are.
