I did see this on 2 of 6 Serrano seedlings this year. I didn't notice if they slumped over or whether they didn't ever straighten up after emerging, but they kept humped backs with seed leaves dragging on the ground for quite a few days before they tried to straighten up. At first I thought they might be weak from starting to damp off, but the stems were thick and normal at ground level, and the cots were actually greener than the other normal seedlings. They have very slowly straightened up (with poking and nudging from me) and can't be told from the normal seedlings. I don't remember seeing this before.
