Twisted's UDP support doesn't use factories.  Since UDP isn't connection oriented, there's little or no reason to construct new protocol instances to handle traffic: one instance is used to handle all traffic received by a port for its entire lifetime.  Try passing a DatagramProtocol subclass instance in to UDPServer, instead of a ServerFactory; you should see this problem disappear.
