Allergies isn't going to cause something like that. TMJ causes pain in the joint of the jaw. Believe me, I've had it in the past, and you wouldn't be doing any strange facial moves.
He could be playing around with facial movements, he could be nervous or he could be developing tics. I'd check with his doctor just to be safe.

could be just a bad habit he picked up or it may be that he's stuffed up from hayfever. these things have nothing to do with tmj

It could be a reaction to a medicine. It could be a lot of things. I'd get him to a doctor.
