Is the offer:

1) Sent to the all-ones broadcast MAC address?

2) Sent to the all-ones 'limited broadcast' IP address (255.255.255.255)?

If you answered no to either of those questions, that is probably the
error.  Otherwise you should probably let us see the packet traces if
you don't mind publishing them (or just send them to dhcp-bugs at isc.org).

I think then the lease state is irrelevant for the problem you're having
(if it would just REQUEST, one server would ACK, and any stale UID's
would get dropped upon receipt of the binding update).
