Jason,
Your plants are "abandoning" that larger stem due to some kind of damage or problem. Either you squeezed it too hard or it became broken inside when you were handling them, or the old stem got frosted before you brought it in or some kind of damage happened to it. The corm is detecting that it's not viable, so it's putting it's energy elsewhere.
