Side shooting is what we call that down under and it is apparently due to changeable weather conditions. Some varieties are more prone to it than others. Last year about 50% of my Monaro Purple sideshot , not being sure what to do I left them grow until they started to dry off and each sideshot clove was about the size of my top thumb joint, much larger than normal for that variety.
You can either pull them now, leave as I did but you need really good airflow to cure the globe or look at changing the variety that you grow.
