I once had a young Tashkent fig (1-2 year old) that did an almost
~1" diameter complete 360* loop going into a 'knot'!
It was a severe case of FMV.....
(Being funny):
Heck, maybe your BM is pointing to a site where she wants to be planted?
Or maybe she is pointing to some hidden gold treasure....
Is the 'top' side of the new growth, by any chance damaged?
You can tell if there are some 'brownish' streaks.
If so, it could have been a (somehow) physical damage at the original bud.
Constrict one-side and twig tends to grow towards the 'opposite-other' better side...
