Would been better if she was just dumb follower that said nothing. Sure could be a bug or something. So either fix her or remove the Rapport all together. Because its getting really annoying.
I don't have that problem with Bastian.

All of them.
Kidding, obviously. One clever tip people are using is to unlock the Companion of choice on all your characters, grab & complete the dailies on everyone, and be sure to turn them in while your Companion is summoned BUT MAKE SURE TO WAIT an appropriate amount of time between turn-ins -- apparently there's a cooldown to how quickly they can earn Rapport this way (reports vary from 5 - 15 minutes, and I am not certain enough to provide a solid answer, sadly). Just as an FYI sort of deal from the hearsay I've encountered. I have not bothered to do this myself. YMMV.
It's tedious, but it's one way to speed up the grind if you don't like doing dailies at an actual one-a-day pace.

Isn't Rapport exclusive to individual characters, and not shared across the account?
I know people are doing something similar to what you said, but via being in a large group and sharing dailies with each other.

Since I'm not one of the people who's grinding it up, I can't say for certain. I only have Companions unlocked on two of my characters at the moment, but it sure looks like their Rapport meter is the same no matter which I'm on. I was under the impression that stuff like Rapport and level-up progress is account-wide and tied to the Companion themselves, not your characters -- but I can't swear by it.
Hopefully others who are going more in-depth with these methods & systems can chime in here. I don't want to spread misinformation.

The folks who are grouping with others and sharing the guild daily quests so they can do many on one character are doing it to build rapport.
I can confirm that after doing many Mages Guild dailies Bastian has given me both his quests and we have passed through "cordial" to "friendly" and are now "close". I'm a ways away from having his rapport maxed, but it does move when you do the most efficient activities to move it.
What I don't understand is how their experience is calculated, as I thought it was a percentage of what experience YOU are rewarded. That isn't totally true, however, for I killed a dragon (getting 9K experience) and Mirri only got 99 experience points. Yet when I killed one of the Dodo birds or any other mundane creature, she gets plenty more experience! Why?!

Hmm, I have been killing every crawling thing I come across on Bastian today to try and reproduce this (including frogs) and I cannot replicate any rapport loss or vocal dismay.You cannot collect ANY type of flying insect at all with Mirri, or you lose rapport (I disabled the option in the "No, Thank You" addon so I don't accidentaly grab one. With Bastian, apparently killing any crawling thing loses rapport. He even commented something like, 'You should really respect all life' after I killed a frog.
May I ask what addon you are using to track the numerical loss and gain of rapport?Rapport changes I've seen so far:
+125 complete Fighters Guild Daily
+125 complete Numani-Rasi relics daily in Vvardenfell
+5 excavate Antiquity
+5 loot Psijic portal
+1 kill a goblin trash mob
+1 kill a snake critter
+1 craft an alcoholic beverage
+1 read a book
-1 harvest a flying insect
The 5-15minute cooldown means that after you harvest a bug, you're safe to harvest a bunch more for a while. And reading every shelf in a library in quick succession will only get you +1 rapport.
Thank you sPark101 for suggesting Numani-Rasi. That almost doubles daily rapport progress.
