It's plausible that they did. But more for the sake of their careers than their egos I think. As the band's focal point, Barrett might've been seen by Gilmour and Waters as a threat to them commercially. With hindesight we know that Barrett would be the one to go under, but I'm sure at the time the remaining members of Floyd didn't. Still a cuntish thing to do, either way. If it's true. And anyway, I prefer Madcap with or without the 'arguments' more than any Floyd album (possibly even Pipers).
