I was trying really hard to find any mud on the onboard but failed. Either you have much better eyes, or you just remember it wrong.
The onboard is on WRC+, in case you don't have it then on the open channel you just have views from before/after (with 2 punctures) during the same stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9SnXa1a-0w
Looks totally dry with dust and everything. Driver comments suggest the same:

So yes I do feel you are calling Mikkelsen out for mistake in wet/tricky conditions when it was a mistake on completely dry stage.
