I now have webcamd running for both webcams in the foreground, no
errors, almost the same output except the video device numbers:
==============================
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/webcamd -i 0 -d ugen0.2 -U webcamd -G webcamd
webcamd 61415 - - Attached to ugen0.2[0]
webcamd 61415 - - Creating /dev/video0
webcamd 61415 - - Creating /dev/video1
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/webcamd -i 0 -d ugen0.3 -U webcamd -G webcamd
webcamd 73317 - - Attached to ugen0.3[0]
webcamd 73317 - - Creating /dev/video2
webcamd 73317 - - Creating /dev/video3
==============================
No further output when taking a snapshot with the working /dev/video0 or
when trying to take a snapshot with the not working /dev/video2.
I tried swapping the webcams around, the error is always with the second
webcam connected (so video2), regardless of which webcam it is.
