Well from what I can see mate I haven't heard of that but it does say organic yeah, to be honest I can't see it being anything like the soil being too hot I've set sprouted beans in batmix, plant magic + and in my own mix of batmagic and all have been fine, now some of these mix's have sharp lumpy bits in them could be something like that damaging the tap root who knows but you say you've had success with coco so you could just use a 2" or 3" pot filled with coco then once established transplant them into a larger pot of soil, you could even try riddling a wee bit of soil for your seedlings, I've just started a new diary with 6 beans into 3" pots filled with plagron light mix and all are fine to date, make sure you handle the beans with tap roots extremely carefully as they are very delicate, had you been in my neck of the woods I would glady Start you some beans off matey, all the best G'.

Thank you so much G. Appreciate all your advise!
I know it seems odd. But planting in coco seems to have worked, where it dint with the soil.
I am very very careful with seeds with taps, use a clean tweezer and all. The soil does not have any lumpy/sharp bits. But I have pulled seeds that I planted after 5 days, and the taps literally stopped where they went in. I have been careful to not overwater, made sure the tap roots are not hanging in a void etc.

heho... as long as something works! Ill take the seed i put in the soil in another couple of days to see whats the story.

Ill add a bit of soil to the coco next time I put a seed in! That sounds good. Thank you G! Ill stand in the corner and watch you grow now!

Your more than welcome brother just hope you get sorted mate and welcome to my diary mate, all the best G'.
