as I said, i would assume GW hardcoat is acrylic based and matt varnish turpentine based - this doesn't work unless You want to use the effect.
unfortunately, You can not dissolve acrylic again, only turpentine based paint
considered You have to do most of the paintjob again, I would simply buy a new model and use the other one as scenery - it would spare You a lot of time and add a wreck to Your collection?

I mean the kit is not very expensive or irreplaceable??

Kit was a few euros second hand, decals cost me more then the kit itself. Aircraft has 2 coats of GW Hardcoat, I should be able to get it fixed within a afternoon of sanding in certain areas. Considering the time invested in it and only needing 1 of these just buying a new one and starting over is less then appealing.

I just looked at the Army Painter site and the Matte Varnish is acrylic based, just like the GW one.

then I have no explanation but one of them might have been too old, since I would assume there was enough drying time between the two...
or I join into the EE conspiracy theory and imply they make their sprays incompatible to others on purpose

but anyway, the model You showed first is different from the one with the accident?

I was painting both at the same time, I took shots of the Huckebein but the problem on the Flogger is the same, if even worse.

I doubt the can was too old, I purchased that less then six months ago from fresh stock that had arrived in the store. Unless the distributer stored them in the wrong way or had them for a while, I'm stumped. The other paintcans I have from them do their work fine, if a bit grainy (so scenery use only for me)

then it shall remain a mistery...

a shame two models were ruined - but what can You do? sometimes materials don't fit together...

You are in good company here 
I recall an anecdote of Michelangelo and Da Vinci competing in painting two opposite walls of the signoria in Firenze, only that Da Vinci's contribution is lost because he experimented with wax-based colours that melted at some time and destroyed the mural - so it was subsequently repainted by Vasari (although it is suspected he preserved the older one by building a new wall)
or so goes the story
