Yes, the incursion happened, but we lost.
We had a very very small group of exiles to begin with, and many of them were "weak." The one initial spawn, of course, had dozens of hard creatures, including clouds, ethereal skeletons, and ethereal pods. We were routed in about three seconds. Some people went north to the cave, where they sealed their depart, as ethereal creatures came in and felled them.
The rest (3?) of us ended up going south. Luckily, none of the ethereal creatures would lure that way. I managed to leap north and pull the portal south with me, so people could come without immediately being surrounded by ether.
Eventually (after a long, long time), more people showed up. We had a small fighting force, and tried to go north in small fighter skirmishes. The way the snells there work, however, is that you tend to jump far away from the boarder. So many people were immediately surrounded and fell. With the help of Malkor, many people were saved, fell, saved again, fell some more, saved, etc. I helped out using a shieldstone to grab people and pull them back when Malkor couldn't. Regardless, we never really had any chance against the ethereal forces. There was too much strong stuff for too little strong fighters to kill, and any minor progress we made was undone when more spawned.
After about two hours of this, you could feel your head hurt, as no more ether would flow, and no victory of ours would be had. Thankfully we did not place a kyuem.
In short, we were massively overpowered by ether which our underpowered group had no chance of doing anything about.
