I haven't taken notes to see if it's really true here, just seems that way. But if you've seen the same, maybe not my imagination! They seem more prone to rot during stratification. 

Yep, love those crinkly coated reddish brown football shaped ones.
I didn't think it's the genes tho. Again, not sure, but I <think> when I've had multiple pods from the same cross, some were lumpy seeded, others 'normal'. I've attributed the differences to stressed plants during pod development. Heat, drought, crowding, lack of optimal nutrition. I see way too many of the lumpy kind here.

Oh, yes.  I agree completely.  The fat ones don't germinate as well as the oval and tapered/pointy ones.
