That's what it looks like to me too. Like a fruit formed, but might have been removed by someone/something. I suppose it also could have aborted at some stage and dropped off, but looks like it got at least a little size to it before doing so.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Any idea what's going on?

See comment above. Also, most years I usually end up with a "mule" plant or two that just doesn't produce at all for whatever reason, or sets one or two fruits so late there's no good chance of them reaching maturity. Usually, there's no concrete reason I can come up with to explain it. This year my mule plant was Kellogg's Breakfast. Luckily, I had another KB in a container and it set loads of fruit. Go figure.
