I may have answered my own question, but if anyone knows otherwise then please do chime in.
The gov.uk site is a lot clearer (to me at least!) on the testing requirements when you are either arriving or transiting Malaysia (I have a stop in KUL on my way to DXB from AKL, to be specific in my case). They split it into 'Entry Requirements' which requires a test and 'Transit' which does not (as long as you remain airside).

When I was booking the ticket, the itinerary showed a stop in Malaysia. It is not a transit, we stop for 1h 35mins (disembark and then get back on the same plane).
My ticket does not show this part of the trip, however. It simply shows me leaving AKL, transiting in DXB and onward travel to LHR.
Anyone come across this? I'm confused because Malaysia requests a COVID test before arrival in Malaysia...but I'm not arriving? It's a stop? So I'm trying to figure out if I need a test or not...
