What went on with the paperwork is still unclear - each side has their story. But a French minister talked of cutting off electricity to Jersey, which was a dickish move, and the French boats did turn up en masse; according to the Guardian, "the protest was largely peaceful although initially the Commodore Goodwill freight ship was trapped and unable to leave the harbour".

I think the French government are being more arseholes than the British. I don't think it was 'hyperbole' about cutting off the electricity; it was a negotiating move, and a stupid one.
