Bumpy pods

I had some plants that were heavily affected with brown spots on the leaves, thought it might have been BLS. I removed a lot of foliage from all of them and they are growing pretty healthily now, but a few of them have started producing pods with small, hard bumps on them. I've never seen this before, so wondering who might be wiser than me?

I have a few pods with a similar poky spot on them as well, although only one spot instead of multiple like yours... Have you cut them open to see if there's anything on the inside like a seed growing through or something? I'm going to cut mine tonight and do some investigating.

Haven't opened any of them yet, but I will take photos when I do if there is anything extraordinary.
