Yeah, I have seen this happen before. I've had little bits of hornwort 
start growing like crazy after doing something to cause a big water 
chemistry change (like cleaning a long-neglected vacant tank). I've also 
had "foxtail" from an LFS grow from the gravel after changing fertilizer 
dosages, and this is from a root mass since the plant had nothing growing 
out of the gravel before.

I've also seen similar, but not quite "back from dormancy" growth from 
crypts, but that's more along the lines of "the plant was alive but not 
growing, and now it is propagating". Crypts are famous for that though.
