A Twisted (?) Idea.

Ahhh, so it would work, but only in unexpected ways.
Nothing new to Fen that happen to go extradimensional, then. There were always worries in the early days someone might trigger a Gray Goo Disaster, or something equally horrific.

Again, I would say it depends entirely on the world.  In a lot, it would probably lose its "silliness” and pacifism.  Take it to a reasonably hard-science world and it would be forced to behave in the manner dictated by the laws of that world.  Take it to Illuminati University . . . and we have a new substance banned from campus (but maybe not banned as a pizza topping).  Or, maybe it would advance to true sapience and get a degree (probably from WUSE).

Honestly, in Gummi’s MegaDenver world, it would probably behave just like it does in Fenspace, but the quirks would probably be a bit more serious (life-threatening, semi-passive quirks could develop, but could be compensated for in advance).  In Super San Diego, it would work, again, close to its Fenspace behavior, but, as a McGuffin of Plot Device it could do thing that it is forbidden from doing in Fenspace.  Also, there is nothing stopping its quirks from being immediately lethal.  (MD is a bit more comic-booky; SSD is a bit more gritty.)

In both worlds, it would count as a potential Super-Origin and that would allow it to violate several of its own rules from Fenspace, such as being “weaponized” or directly dealing lethal damage, potentially massive amounts.  It would also run into the problem of having to give way to the “facts” of such world.  Like having its abilities controlled by Bob (from MegaDenver) or materials it can’t interact with (Hellion bases from SSD). 

Rose’s concern is, for the most part, paranoia.  But, she’s seen a lot of things and been surprised by worlds she’s visited.  And, as an experienced traveller, she knows the second rule is “All Bets are Off.”  (The first rule, for those who care, is “When dealing with evil demons, it’s never that easy.  No matter how hard ‘that easy’ was.”  Doesn’t quite apply to Rose, but she understands the value of keeping the rules in order.)  So, Rose’s first priority would be to keep it from infesting any of her companions (she’s plenty powerful enough to keep it from infesting her.)  Followed immediately by keeping it in its own universe.  The stuff is unpredictable enough in Fenspace, it could be downright lethal in other realities.
