i dont see anything gone wrong here. If your scanning sofware has built-in dust remover(some of them dont work with b&white), you can try scanning as colour neg to fool the software!In december I shot a roll of Ilford XP2 Super, iso 400 that needs to be developed in C41. I don't want to do that at home so brought it to a photo shop for development and I think they screwed up. Probably the C41 soup was quite old and the negatives came out very low contrast and the film back is slightly greenish and darker than normal. So scanning to something useful took a few extra tries. Second problem was an enormous amount of dust dried into the emulsion which was very hard to remove and too much to "spot" all. So this is the last time I use this kind of film and will now only use stock I can develop myself. There was an order of magnitude more dust on this film versus old negatives that I have stored for 50 years, absolutely dreadful but there's very little you can claim back after such an incident, hardly worth getting a new film if I don't want to use this kind anymore.
Here's a first series, more might follow, but to make them slightly presentable takes a lot of time cloning and healing away all the dust spots.
