Unlimited Visual Passive Points in PoE2

I was playing on a controller, I respecced my second weapon set skill points with Doryani, and I realized I could allocate more passive points than usual. I wish I could provide more detail on what I did, but I can't replicate it. Passive points in this state are infinite in how many can be allocated, but provide no bonuses at all. I cannot path through empty jewel sockets, but every other node is open to me. They can be refunded, but it simply deletes my gold with no return. They are distinguished by lacking the lighted up line going between each node, but the node itself lights up as if fully specced. In the picture provided, I show what these phantom nodes look like in game. The energy shield and caster cluster are phantom specced in this image. The phantom nodes persist through relaunching and changing control scheme to mouse and keyboard.

same thing happening to me, removing the "fake nodes" ends up taking the gold.
