First let me say I'm not an expert, but as an embedded software guy I have some vague notion of much smaller CPUs. . .

Google suggests that BPM is Intel speak for break-point monitor, so this pin may well be used for attaching an external debugger - that's a device that can monitor what's going on inside the CPU at a very low level.

I imagine this pin is one of many that would only be used in the lab at Intel and companies developing motherboards, and it may well do nothing in a consumer motherboard.
 
Some pins are reserved for testing purposes but they still built them in all sockets, so if your PC works than you should not be bothered, but still how come you bend the pin?
