"Were any of these excommunicated as the result of the actions of the Pope?"

Yes St. Hippolytus was. Both he and Pope St. Callistus ended up being exiled to the same place by the emperor. Eventually both their bodies were returned to Rome and both became venerated as Saints.

It is supposedly Hippolytus's fault that we now have Eucharistic Prayer II, but I think that's a heavy charge to lay on any single man - even a Saint.

Hippolytus was reconciled to the Church just before his matyrdom. He was not separated from the Church on his death.

I would think that Marcel Lefebvre would need to be reconciled with the Church prior to his death in order to be considered for Sainthood.

Hippolytus of Rome was reconcilled with the Church BEFORE his martrydom. So when he died, he was not at the time considered excommunicated.
