I'm not sure I understand your question.  It looks to me like it worked fine.  
You canceled the first message and a cancellation notice was in the queue to 
go back to the sender.  

From the cancelmsg man page:

cancelmsg removes a message from the mail queue.  There will be no more 
attempts to deliver this message, and a standard delivery failure notice is 
sent to the return address listed on the message.

If you cancel the second message then the queue should be clear.    Were you 
not able to cancel the second message without manually deleting the whole 
queue?
