Hello,

most likely mysqld crashed since data was damaged while incorrectly preparing the backup:
when you were preparing a full backup you used --redo-only option, this option is also needed when you apply incrementals, should be like:

innobackupex --apply-log --redo-only /home/backups/xtrabackup/restore
innobackupex --apply-log --redo-only /.../restore --incremental-dir=/.../inc1
innobackupex --apply-log --redo-only /.../restore --incremental-dir=/.../inc2
....
innobackupex --apply-log /home/backups/xtrabackup/restore

So if you are going to apply several incremental changes - this also should be done with --redo-only option.

Please try this and let us know if it helps. For now I will mark bug as incompleted.
Thank you.
