Ok ta danstuff, testr. Think it was a combination of going too high with the tensions, and not properly dealing with spoke wind up. Everything was lubed up pretty thoroughly and nipples were sat in sapim washers, guess the tension went up much easier than normal and I was just being complacent, gauging it by feel.
Have backed them all off a couple of turns and all seems well now. Hopefully not compromised the wheel too much :s
You have not harmed the rims. The rim can be taken into its wobbly state and dropping the tension returns it to it's normal state. Its critical tension remains unchanged.
