As of the new patch I can plant the bad almonds. I do not expect them to grow into "corrupt almond" trees. With that, the only issue remaining is that, should a tree give out corrupted almonds, they won't stack.

Confirm this: the "Settings" menu is available only by pressing the "ESC" key. Also, click at the "Settings" icon hides/unhides HUD.

OK, I discovered a fairly major exploit which can be done exclusively with these bugged almonds. I recorded a video of it just now. The video is in 2560x1440 (2K) at 30fps. YouTube is still processing the 1K and 2K versions so if the video is blurry, give YouTube some time to process. I describe what I did in the video description. Please contact me if you need anything from me.

The bug finally happened today when I was not recording / streaming. Yesterday I harvested all of my plots and replanted all but one with almonds. The last plot (second one in Sweet Apple Orchard) I planted cherry seeds in. I then logged out and did not login again until late last night. I harvested the single cherry tree and replanted the seeds. I then logged out again until this morning. When I logged in I harvested the cherry tree, planted eight more cherry seeds, and then began harvesting my almond trees.

This is probably somehow caused by there being almonds with Metadata -1 and Metadata 0.
