Nope, not normal, not good. Did you rebuild them? Did you get both cups put in so the lips aren't folded under at all? You might try putting the drum on temporarily, pushing hard on the brakes, and seeing what happens at the wheel cylinder. Maybe some fluid just got past the piston for some reason like dirt, or the edge of the cup being folded over, but now it's sealed up and good. Or maybe it will be obvious where the problem is once you've pumped some fluid through the leak. This wouldn't be the first time a "new" part wasn't put together right in the factor, either. It's easy enough to take them apart and look.
