I can't really see much with the tag in the way, but this looks as if it is more of a problem with the scape. I'm wondering if you might have an insect larva inside. One time I had a big fat caterpillar crawl out of a bud which looked like that. Its mother had laid the egg on the bulb before shipment. Try cutting off the whole scape and see if the bulb will put up a second healthy scape. You should get a credit or replacement for this.
