Yep, for me too.

We can hope. I generally leave the power off except: during
boot time, when the BIOS and OS are looking for the scanner,
and when I'm using it.
Well, I can't say it's "normal" or "intended", but I can say
that mine and yours are acting the same way.
Now, if I could only get SANE to FIND the darn thing. (I have
been less lucky than you in getting SANE to work)
