Anyone know for sure how serious a problem it was on the flight they stopped because of an air conditioning malfunction??

Haven't heard anything about it up until now. Do you have any more details?
If there was a problem with the ACU's, the normal procedure would be to make a precautionary landing (the ACU's supply the pressurisation system).

Passenger fears ground CY flight
A CYPRUS Airways flight to Athens was delayed for hours yesterday when a group of passengers refused to fly, citing fears for their safety.
On embarkation, around 30 passengers complained of the heat inside the Airbus, demanding that they be transferred to another flight.
As a result, the aircraft was grounded for hours as all the luggage had to be unloaded, so that the protesting travellers could then identify their belongings and have them transferred to another plane.
The destination of the afternoon flight was the Eleftherios Venizelos airport outside Athens.
According to reports, the passengers included a number of VIPs, among them a French governmental delegation.
The passengers were apparently worried that the plane’s air-conditioning system was malfunctioning.
Faulty air-conditioning was named as one of the possible reasons for the accident aboard a Helios airliner more than two years ago.

I wonder if it's the same plane I was on 20th October. The heat in the cabin on the ground was unbelievable and this was when it was sat on the runway at Manchester 10 degrees outside. Then mid flight it was freezing cold and you felt like you kept losing you breath. I had nightmares of Helios in my head all the way home!
