I was just re-installing my omnomnoms and have done the exact same thing I think. Felt about 1mm play so tightened again and then a crack sound and now a free spinning 8mm bolt. @beanpie did you source the replacement crank bolt from blue door cycles? was it just a case of getting the old 5/8" and 8mm ones out and replacing with a new set?
Blue Door Cycles of Crystal Palace sorted me out in timely fashion and Action Bikes did the fitting as they already had my bike. I did over tighten and I will be investing in a torque wrench sharpish.
In the meantime I'm zipping through traffic giving it om nom nom nom like Cookie Monster.
