This year particulary, a lot of the toamto vines have started
growing leaves and shoots at their tip, usually after some of
the fruit has set.

What is the cause of this?

I usually just cut the shoot off fairly near the final
flower/shoot, but is there another recommended procedure?

Truss shoots are quite normal. some varieties throw more than others,
just cut them off after the last flower.
