Magit simply visits the COMMIT_EDITMSG file in .git/ when you make a
commit.
Presumably, the buffer for this file wasn't killed after your previous commit,
and you don't have auto-revert-mode on. Hence, the next commit would just
bring the existing COMMIT_EDITMSG buffer up again, with the old contents, like
if you re-visit a file again.
COMMIT_EDITMSG will have the right contents though, so M-x revert-buffer will
update the buffer accordingly.
