Pinguicula problem: bubbles inside leaves?

Hi everyone, I've got a problem with my Pings which has stumped me: there seem to be transparent bubbles inside the leaves of some of my Pings. Has anyone ever experienced this and/or know what causes it? I can't find any pests around and the leaf surface seems undamaged. Affected leaves can be used for propagation, though the plantlets which grow from them are affected too. Affected plants don't seem too healthy either and die after some time, though it can take quite long. Here are two pics of the problem:

Thanks for any help!

Never had this problem but something similar with Dionaea, don't know if this is the case but the D. did the same thing because soil was too much compact not oxygenating enough, i'd say this is not the case seeing much perlite ecc

Nematodes? I've heard people say nematodes can infest pinguicula's.
