I've just given an inside wall two coats of paint. Now that the
paint has dried I've noticed that close up the wall is
criss-crossed with tiny, tiny mosiac like cracks. The wall hadn't
been plastered so there was no chance of movement. However, the
time between the first and second coat was the minimum recommended
(2 hours) - could this be the reason?

Are you sure they are cracks and not tiny raised areas like wrinkles?
If the first coat continued to dry after the second coat was surface
dry the first coat could shrink and cause the second coat to
reticulate.

Bearing in mind the cracks are tiny (but now that I know they are
there they bug me!) can I just give the wall a third coat? Or do I
have to sand it off and start again?

Sand a wall????
