A quite similar phenotype was observed by Dr R. Bourdeix in Tonga on a Compact Dwarf Coconut (Niu Leka type). I this case, the pollination process was not complete and most of the fruits were empty and came from a parthenocarpic developement.

This freaks was found on Youtube. It seems that there is water inside the young fruits, but we dont know if the fruits reach the stage of full maturity, with a complete embryo. Most often, such kind of fruit is derived from a parthenocarpic developement (growth without pollination) and it contains only husk, no kernel nor shell.
