Did these two different jenkins/hudson instances run on the same path simultaneously? I can see how this could cause some very, very odd behaviour. I'd start by bringing both down, then starting only one. If it is still broken, do you have backups?
Perhaps one feature - a lock file can prevent jenkins starting up where another already is, but the signal/exception handling would need to make sure it wasn't left around.
