Do you have any documentation or other evidence that Virginia authorities were notified of the marriage taking place prior to the later date when the marriage was celebrated again in Virginia. Unless someone made them aware of the marriage in North Caroline the Virginia authorities likely had no way of knowing that the lady had remarried.
