If the husk is a larger diameter than the fruit, (and this happens quite often), then that fruit is a failure. Normally, the fruit will outgrow the husk.

Maybe someone else here can give a technical answer. My answers are from my personal experience with three different varieties. All three had some pods that did just what you have experienced. However, the plants put out so many fruits that a few bad ones doesn't really hurt the total production all that much.
