Miscoat is just another name for thined down emulsion with some water to use basically as a primer, like you do with new wood.
Was the plaster actually fully dry? If it wasn't then Supermatt emulsion would have been the best thing to use as a mist coat as it doesn't contain any vinyl and therefore allow the wall to still breathe and fully dry out.
I guess the vinyl matt you applied has trapped the moisture still in the plaster and has caused it to bubble.
