For me it only happens in the spring once I take the plants outside.

This happens to flowers also, it is called a choke.
Sometimes they pop out the side of the stem if the pressure gets too much and just keep growing.

Another choke
Nice pics of the chokes. Thanks for sharing. I had a small Nam Wah that I thought was dead blow out the side of the stem about 2/3rds of the way up.
