If you leave any cotton in the microwave for too long, eventually it will get overheated & catch fire (that's fabric & batting).
Sorry, I can't let this go without mentioning, many 100% cotton batts have a layer or two of scrim and it IS flammable and absolutely will catch fire in the microwave. If a batting company warns against using their batting in the microwave, I would heed the warning. They know exactly what's in it.
