That was my first thought too. I don't believe that to be the case here though.

. oraenv calls dbhome which greps /etc/oratab to set the ORACLE_HOME - in our oratab which had been manually edited the ORACLE_HOME string had a trailing slash. The instance would have originally been started after setting the environment using oraenv as well, so I think that that together with Dan and Dimitri's explanations nails the problem down.
