That's called a "bump stop", and it used to be fairly common place with early A604 4-speed transmissions. It's a hard shift into first gear, just like you said. The trans in these cars typically doesn't do this, but I suppose it's possible that it could be within the range of 'normal' if it's not severe. You might want to inspect the condition of the fluid in the transmission, and have it and the filter changed if it doesn't look perfect.
