Yes, it is normal in default Apache HTTP configuration. See:

 # ReadmeName is the name of the README file the server will look for by
 # default, and append to directory listings.
 #
 # HeaderName is the name of a file which should be prepended to
 # directory indexes.
 ReadmeName README.html
 HeaderName HEADER.html

 #
 # IndexIgnore is a set of filenames which directory indexing should ignore
 # and not include in the listing.  Shell-style wildcarding is permitted.
 #
 IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# HEADER* README* RCS CVS *,v *,t


Probably the IndexIgnore needs to be fixed.

(I had same problem on one of my servers.)
