Sounds to me like the plants are side shooting, probably best to lift and use as green garlic. What you will find will be either of two things,
One if only a single leaf has emerged from clove it may be larger than normal but would have broken out of the wrappers and less likely to store well or
Two, multiple leaves from each clove, then that clove will divide producing a mess of small cloves that are that fiddly to deal with that they are virtually useless.
I have had both situations occur and you cannot tell until you lift them.
