While I'm at it I have also read a shed load of match blogs and reports which variously describe the Cardiff formation as: 4-4-2, 5-3-2, 3-5-2 and 4-5-1.

It's as if no one is at the same match!
From the video on the club site, I'd say the first three of your possibilities can be ruled out because they all happened well before the ref is shown holding the red card up - the card is shown shortly after Warnock and Manga first get involved and before Manga shoves his manager - based on what the video shows, I'd say verbal abuse to the fourth official is the big favourite.
