No, this behaviour is normal.
During boot process, the kernel mounts the initial ramdisk first, to
get ext3/reiser/xfs module loaded and to pivot_root to the real
root partition.
The pivot_root system call changes the root filesystem to a mounted
partition and moves the old root filesystem (the ramdisk) to a
specified mount point (/initrd).

No, these things are not related.
