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.

That's pretty much my experience (aside from the different leaf color) with serranos each year--been growing Serrano Del Sol F1 for the past 3 years from seed.
