When you copied the webapp to 'myapp.old' jetty will deploy that new directory. So you would have had 2 identical webapps deployed.
The better way to do it would be to copy the new webapp into the existing 'myapp' directory and then touch myapp.xml to cause it to be redeployed. I haven't seen the exception you report before. We there any more relevant lines in the log?
