That seems to make sense, given that any SSLv2 service using a pubkey that's used on a non-SSLv2 service can be used in an attack against the latter.
The main takeaway from this is probably that it's a good idea to separate your SSL keys by service (or, more specifically, by DISTINCT($attack_surface), where $attack_surface is your software stack, OpSec, etc.). This would limit the impact of a number of vulnerabilities (think: Heartbleed) and should generally become a best-practice.
