I think the condensation is a testament to how well the seal is, which I think is good. The only bad thing I could think of in regards to this, would be not allowing the egg to breathe, but there is still plenty of porous egg surface left to breathe, so I don't see a problme here. My only other concern would be that the condensation on the inside of the plastic wrap may come into contact with the egg shell that is behind the glue line. This could possibly deteriorate that part of the shell, and thus cause a problem. However, I think you are close enough to hatching that if it manifested, it would still be close enough to save the hatchling.
I would not expect that short of a period of cool incubation temps to affect hatching. If anything, it woula push it back one day. Please keep us posted (you have done a great job of this so far), but the updates are definitely registering in my mind, and helping me to devise a plan of attack for the next time this happens (in the event that the process could be tweaked a little)
