Normal? NO.
Common? Yes, if your MT skills need work.

You need to practice your MT shifts.
No lazy shifting. Learn to shift quickly all the time.
That way, when the AC brings the engine rpm down quicker, you can shift quickly and smoothly.
Since you know the rpm will drop quicker, then pick a higher rpm to shift.
If you use 2000rpm for a smooth shift, then use 2300 or 2500 when the AC is on, or shift quicker.
