  Nearly anything's possible, however unlikely.  Could just be factory 
replacements.
  You might try "standing" on the pedal with that bleeder out and see 
if you can blow it clear.  Otherwise it's get a bristle out of a wire brush 
and try and poke the hole open.  You might end up having to disassemble
the caliper to get it accomplished.  A rebuild kit probably wouldn't be a 
bad idea anyway.  :-)
