Well, the little spot in the Pons recording we're talking about I wouldn't call untidy, arrhythmic, hectic, or disorderly (indeed, the whole solo is impeccably played). What I'm talking about is more a question of how the notes are colored than it is anything else. Estelles (I'm assuming he's the clarinetist) gives the F# a slightly "squeaky" or grotesque quality through a very brief portamento (difficult to describe in words--you just have to hear it, I think).

"Funky" is actually a really good word to describe it--it's a little bit unusual, but at the same time appealing and musically interesting.

I had at one point tried looking for the Cleveland Orchestra's recording of this work so I could hear Marcellus's interpretation of the solo, but it looks like it may be out of print, as I wasn't able to find it.
