I think it's normal.  The messages may vary with the driver/kernel.  On 
kernel 3.8.3-LFS-7.3, I have:

[    3.580354] EXT3-fs (sda16): recovery required on readonly filesystem
[    3.580494] EXT3-fs (sda16): write access will be enabled during recovery
[    5.769971] EXT3-fs (sda16): recovery complete
[    5.770128] EXT3-fs (sda16): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode

but not the INFO part of the statement.
