more to the point.. Have you just renamed your /nether folder and let the server regen it again with the same seed # could just be a very unique seed not really a bug. you can control the terrain gen by placing the seed number in server.properties after copying it with /seed in the nether.

or pass on the seed here we can try and dup by try doing a terraform with the same seed and see if it happens for us as well.

but as others have said there is gravel in the nether normally. but I think its typically on the range of like 3% of the blocks or something redicilously low.

Gravel areas are actually a common feature in the nether, are you sure there wasn't any soulsand elsewhere?

Are you using a custom texture pack? Or maybe using a superflat generation code? More detail is needed or no one can help you. I can't replicate this problem, the soul sand is still there.
