Why do my pole bean seedlings have curled-up leaves?

I'm trying to create a three-sister's garden and I have noticed some of my genuine cornfield bean seedlings have curled-up leaves. I have extra seeds I could replace them with, but I am not sure if it's necessary. Oddly, the Cherokee Trail of Tears Beans I planted don't have the same problem anywhere.

What is happening to these beans, and what should I do?

It looks like mechanical damage to me. The corn leaves are also damaged.  Was there a hailstorm or strong wind? Does a dog/cat/rabbit run through the patch?

I'd guess they will outgrow it, if the source of damage isn't ongoing.
