I was able to play w18a for about 15 seconds, and I was near spawn. I suspect the chests that were emptied were related to my presence, though I'm not sure how the Castle at Spawn's chests were emptied while the Market was not.
I went and restored the chests that I found from yesterday (the rest of mine, OCS's house, Floyd's house, Rexul's sheep pen, the Counting Game, and the Celebration Chests. For anyone interested, this involved copying the Region file (r.0.-1.mca) to my computer, editing an old backup I happened to have (April 29), copying all the chests from certain chunks, pasting those into the affected chunks in the current world file, then re-uploading the file to the server.)
I am updating to 14w18b right now. Hopefully everything is running smoothly now!
Fixed that for you.
