I've had a further look in to this bug and it doesn't actually appear to be an issue with the nagios2 init script. I think the problem is actually in the killproc() sub-routine that's part of /lib/lsb/init-functions (lsb-base).

killproc() from /lib/lsb/init-functions (lsb-base) does not check to see what type of signal was sent. If signal 1 is sent (HUP), it removes the PID file. The PID file shouldn't be removed on this action (I may be wrong?). I'll raise another bug against init-functions for lsb-base and see what feedback I get.

Anyway, I've attached a patch for the original problem where the nagios2 init script has the wrong PID file, although this isn't a major problem. More for consistency.
