Feels like a glitch, ngl.

Blink Dagger instakills most bosses, in fact. Just realize that you're forsaking your key.

Can you tell me which ones it instakills? I haven't seen any boss get insta'd by it besides the tower boss (keeping in mind I usually get the dagger in catacombs).
I've also seen it glitch that one knight boss in the rift, but it didn't actually die.

It's rarely a 1 hit affair since where the boss gets teleported is random. But pretty much any boss (there are a few exceptions) can be placed inside a wall if you hit it a couple times, which will instantly kill the boss, and in most cases you'll lose the key. Yes this can even work for bosses that travel through walls like wisp queen, although in my experience it takes longer. I doubt you could kill rift bosses this way simply because of the lack of walls.

Must've been patched because mobs (including the bosses I've fought) never ever spawn inside of walls from experience. They only seem to ever get teleported in open areas.
I think the sea serpent glitches because the boss is really meant to be on rails and instantly breaks the moment he goes off-script. Other bosses are proper dynamic entities.

The only other bosses I can think of that could reasonably get insta'd from the dagger would be the rock worm and maybe the wisp queen (as you've said) because of strange AI.

Believe whatever you want, it has most certainly not been patched. It rarely works with normal enemies because they are close to the player in size so teleporting them actually works as intended.

Apparently water blocks are considered full blocks in terms of teleporting and instakill mobs (according to Seth). I've seen some other boss get insta'd as well yesterday, but I can't remember what it was or where it got teleported to. It seems to happen very infrequently, though. Unless I'm just very unlucky.
It doesn't seem like something that can happen predictably on anything but the tower boss.
But yeah, I suppose it has a chance to happen on other bosses.

to clarify i say that because they are classified ad the same kind of block in the level editor
