If a chairman makes an outburst at an AGM about something which is not on the agenda and for which there was no vote – but it appears on the minutes as if it was a resolution passed; what does voting for or against confirmation of the minutes at the next GM convey? If the minutes are confirmed does this in effect make the outburst an agenda item for the next meeting which would then be legally passed by confirmation?

Wow, what a mess!!
1. If the matter arising from the “outburst” was not on the Meeting Agenda, then it cannot form part of the proceedings and should not have been minuted.
2. Confirmation of the Minutes means that they're correct in all respects (which they're apparently not), and yes … if they are confirmed that does mean that whatever has been minuted about the “outburst” is correct.
If everything is as you say, then you should not confirm the Minutes and instead ask for those to be amended by deleting all references to the subject “outburst”
