節 here means "node", not "knot".

Branches grow from nodes, and 節外 means "not from a node" (i.e. not from the expected place) — it doesn't mean "out of a knot".
Diff:
- 節外生枝 节外生枝 [jie2 wai4 sheng1 zhi1] /a new branch grows out of a knot (idiom); fig. side issues keep arising/
+ 節外生枝 节外生枝 [jie2 wai4 sheng1 zhi1] /(idiom) new problems arise unexpectedly/
