I say let it put out a few more leafs and if symptoms continue then pull it.

I thought the same thing, but wasn't sure enough to post. At first I thought it was a variegated DC like one I'd recently purchased. Then I saw the red underside of the leaf and thought it was a Mysore with BSV. Good to know about citrus mealybugs, which have gotten a bit out of control in my yard. My mysore has BSV I'm sure, but can't even tell on the full grown plants and no other bananas yet. But good inspiration to deal with the mealybugs.
