Rather dubious? If the cabin is not secure for landing the captain is obliged to go around.

Ummm, but with most reputable airlines, that decision is made at 1000 feet AGL. If the cabin is not ready then, the aircraft goes-around from that point.

In this case - from such a low altitude - I would tend to believe that it was something other than the cabin not being ready.
