I think this can happen in apples too.  There have been a few times due to 
weird weather or whatever else, that one of the apple trees at my parents 
house in Seattle will decide to push out flowers in July or early August.  
These invariably set fruit even though the likelihood of another apple 
blooming nearby is exceedingly low.  I've never paid much attention to 
whether the resulting fruit had seeds or not since they never get the chance 
to ripen after their late start.

Has anyone else seen this?
