The correct way to do what you want is:
"""
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs2 0.0.0.0:56831
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs3 0.0.0.0:56832
"""
I just tested it in my bridge and it works.

Although Tor should have warned you that you are doing it wrong. I
opened a ticket for this:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8727

Unfortunately, I don't know why Vidalia deleted your
ServerTransportListenAddr lines when you tried to split them into two
lines. I'm not using Vidalia when I run bridges.
