I'm having difficulty imagining how this happened...the dealer turns to help w/ cleanup and (somehow) slides 2 of the 4 cards into the stub?
There's not a specific rule that covers this, except...Protect Your Hand.
In a home game, though, you resolve it however the host prefers. Personally, I would lean towards letting the hand continue but dealer only has the 2 remaining cards. Under no circumstances are we digging through the stub even if he swears he knows which 2 cards. Alternatively, dealers hand is dead because he doesn't have the required number of cards, significant action has occurred, and he didn't protect his hand.
