Wood Release suddenly disappeared in Hashirama's lineage, and there's little reason to believe it was a common KKG in his era. I don't see why it couldn't mysteriously pop up in people the same way it mysteriously disappeared.

We've also seen various KKG users with no known or clear blood relation. Muu and Onoki are the only known Dust Release users despite having no blood relation. So i don't see why wood release can't be in the same category, as a KKG that pops up now and again with no clear distinction between them.

Also from the wiki: "Moegi" can be translated as "young tree buds" (萌木), "light yellowish green" (萌葱, 萌黄, 萠黄), or "burning wood" (燃木).

So was this always intended by Kishimoto (but never realized in his own manga?)
