Default Blue Glue

About 6 months ago I replaced a dowel in a table leg. The wood is
dark and fine-grained and looks like cherry. The leg is fastened to
the upright with two dowels about 5/8 " diameter. I glued both dowels
with titebond 2.

Yesterday the leg and post came back. It had come off again. The
glue on the new dowel was still soft and colored blue. Any ideas why
yellow glue would not set up, and why it turned blue? Would residue
of hide glue do this?
