This will make sense only if a request for reconsideration has been sent.
Moreover, UKBA must have sent a letter stating the reason why the application was void.
When I sent the old form, I received a letter from them stating why my application was an invalid application.
As I said before we are missing some blocks in the whole picture.....

May be they later discovered that a reconsideration was in progress while treating the second application.
The question now is that, is your friend still qualify to put a fresh application in now considering the 28 days rules?
It's quit tricky, but my suggestion is that he should appeal now and hopefully it goes well for him because he will still qualify to reapply within 28 days if he fail in appealf
Best regards
