I don't think it is normal.

I have had the graphical startup since I switched to Kubuntu a month or two
ago.

When I shut down, I get a graphical shutdown that disappears (I guess when
kdm is stopped), then a brief black screen, then the usual text messages of
services being stopped, then another black screen with the blinking
underline until the system finishes the shutdown.  Sometimes that last step
takes awhile (more than half a second), but I haven't investigated it.
