I don't find what you show as being rare,rather I'd call it unusual growth and it's called unbalanced growth.
Which means that the roots and or foliage or both are growing faster than they should. IMO it has nothing to do with fertilizers, etc.
I've seen it many times. As the plants grow they will get with it and the foliage will return to normal foliage.

See post 5 above and the link I put up there as confirmation, but I didn't check that 2nd link to be sure it is still active,so fingers crossed..

According to Grodan that is due to calcium insufficiency in the growing tips due sometimes to overgrowth (which can be due to root inefficiency and high humidity which slows calcium uptake).
