Bob, it is the pinched off part when they form the inner bulb as you thought previosly. the speculation was that the thicker part of the glass made the light less blue but further tests showed it didn't matter.
for what its worth a fan blowing on the bulb does affect the output color but I doubt most people would notice it.
