When you restarted the servers, shouldn't everything be in safe mode? The root region server ZNode is not ephemeral so it will not go away when all the servers die. The reason for this was so that things can continue working if the master dies. The master has an ephemeral out of safe mode ZNode however that the regionservers should be waiting for when they startup. Can you file a JIRA with some more details on this (logs, etc)?
