I have no idea.
possibly both have been told to "down" at the exact same time.

there are a few "cluster wide state changes", and while one of those is
pending, no other cluster wide state change is allowed.

apparently virt-1 attempted to detach (become Diskless) while virt-2
attempted (and finally succeeded) to disconnect.

this probably cannot be avoided, though it should be very rare.
it may be worked around in the resource agent by some retry logic.

I said it should be rare, so it should not be easy to reproduce.
if you find a (simple) procedure to reproduce it, let me know,
we will find out why it happens, and make it behave better.
if you cannot easily reproduce it: => WONTFIX.

no, "enable debug" in drbd would not help to understand what exactly
happened. though it is possible to use the tracing framework.
documentation of drbd tracing: see drbd source code.
