Is it a fungal infection? It would be pretty odd, since I've always kept it sheltered from rain and sparingly watered. Anyone knows what's going on?

Is there something wrong with this agave?
This agave opened a new leaf a few weeks ago, and I noticed some round, yellowish circular marks on the center and on the inner surface of the new leaf, roughly as large as a pinhead and slightly concave. It doesn't seem to be worsening for now as far as I can see, and the plant looks fairly healthy on the whole, but I can't figure out the cause.

Yes, probably some sap-suckers in there...
