I can't see your pictures yet, but it sounds like the seed coats aren't fully formed. I've had that happen when a pumpkin stops growing early and doesn't reach full maturity. Often times those seeds will still grow if there has been enough development of the embryo inside the seed. They may not have full-sized cotyledons but with a little TLC they will still into a normal plant, and the genetics won't be affected at all.
