They were probably stuck inside the seed coating longer and got a bit deformed.

Yeah, never worry about the cots. If the first leaves really look weird, then you might should be concerned.

Yes, plenty of funny-shaped cotyledons in my seedlings, and all have turned out great. It's the subsequent growth and leaf formation that matters, for healthy roots.
