Otherwise, the plant and the other fruits are fine, but I'd be interested to know what people think may have caused, & what I can do better to prevent?

Sneezy,
This does not look like citrus scab to me, it looks more like wind scar. Scab does not usually affect only a couple fruits, but rather the tree as a whole. It will affect the leaves as well as the fruit. Wind scar on the other hand only affects the fruits that have rubbed against a twig or leaf. The rubbing may occur when the fruit is very small and show large later.

Below is a link showing citrus scab and what to do for it.

Your fruit does not look like this to me. You might take the fruit or the pictures to your local extension office for a better diagnosis.
