No, this is not a normal phenomenon for bookworm upgrades. I've never heard of it happening to anyone before. You should be able to reinstall openssh-server and remove dropbear and get back to normal, unless there's something else unusual in your package set. As this situation is (AFAIK) unique to your system, you'll have to be the one to try it and see what happens.
