Are the config files completely the same except instance_id - including 
beaker.session.secret?

Otherwise I guess it perhaps can be the cross site request forgery 
protection that somehow interferes.

It might for this and other reasons be a good idea to configure haproxy 
to be "sticky" and always forward requests from a client to the same 
server - for example based on IP or cookies.
