Depends on the meaning of "normal". Check out 
http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2000-07/msg00394.html

There are many, many other threads about this and related topics(NAT,
VPNs with 1918 addys, breaking traceoute with 1918 addys, etc.) 
RFC1918 addys are sacred stomping ground.

@Home and Adelphia(atleast in VA) use 1918 addys internally.  They
usually turn up between the modem and the distribution hub/headend(?).
