Sounds about right... from the manpage:
If ap is passed to a function that uses va_arg(ap,type)
then the value of ap is undefined after the return of that
function.
Reading the rest of the page, however, I don't see any reason not to
re-initialize a va_list with a new va_start afterwards, even if it its
value does become undefined first.
