I don't think it was wake turbulence, it was sheer incompetence. Terribly, terribly sad for the families but it appears she was in over her head trying to go into hobby.

Unfortunately, yes. You also have to realize that the way the LiveATC recordings work, you don't necessarily hear all the transmissions from the plane. An individual sets up a receiver somewhere - usually fairly near the field, but sometimes not as close as necessary - so when the plane gets low, you no longer hear their transmissions.
That said, I'm guessing there's some stuff missing that makes it sound like ATC was just willy nilly changing stuff. I have a feeling that the Cirrus was having trouble with the cross wind, was already stressed due to multiple errors, flying very high patterns, and she just lost it on another go-around. If I'm reading the winds right, she also was dealing with a quartering tail wind of up to about 7kts, depending on the gusts. She just lost it, that's all.
