I'm editing to point out that this was stated above already Blush

In my opinion...

It depends how the webbing was going around the tree. If it was some kind of friction wrap (like a "no knot" or a "wrap three pull two") then having the knot out of the system like that is good. With these setups the knot can be in a place where almost no force is on it at all.

However if it was a single loop or girth hitch, I think the knot should be free from rubbing anything.
