I resolved this, it seemed to be an issue with boxes using php4 and apache2. Basically, for the boxes which reported the mysql error, I installed libapache2-mod-php5, which replaced all of php4*, it needed some extra php5 packages, just copy the ones that were removed, change the 4 to 5 :) I also did an apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin and re-installed it, which then asked me which webserver I use, chose the correct one, and presto, all working.
I'm sure it's had something to do with the upgrades from apache1 to apache2 and php4 to php5, somewhere along the line, it got sad and broke :) Anyway, all good. Hope this helps someone.
