With Mutation, do bottom-of-deck draws and Disease Hot Spot add an extra purple cube?

The designer answered this in 2024.

No. Under the Mutation challenge, a card drawn from the bottom of the Infection deck places only the cube the rule names (the card's own colour for Epidemics; only purple for Mutation cards and Mutation Events), never both. The designer says to treat Disease Hot Spot the same way as an Epidemic card. The Superbug challenge has its own rules and cannot be combined with Mutation.
