It looks like UDLD did its job just fine. The trouble is the configuration of errdisable recovery. By default, the switch will not recover any errdisabled port. This causes the port to stay disabled until resolution of the underlying problem, allowing an engineer to resolve before executing a manual bounce of the port. "show errdisable recovery" will show your current settings. The defaults are all to be disabled and a timer of 300 seconds.
