Reportedly a problem with the fuel dump valve(s) - presumably wouldn't close after dumping completed.
Can't have been much fun for anyone living under the SNN final approach:

AF 178 CDG-MEX A380 AOG at SNN
AF178 CDG-MEX A380 diverted to SNN today (medical) however after dumping fuel the valve failed to shut and the A/C landed leaking fuel which closed the runway for nearly 2 hours for clean-up, delaying departures until 13.53.
Rescue A380 A/C en route from CDG to SNN at this time 17.40 Zulu.
