No that is not normal. Either the doorknob is leaky, the insulation on the HV rect filament winding failed, or dirt and carbon tracking made a new path somewhere.
I'd de-solder the filament winding and check it...If there is any measurable resistance to ground from the winding replace the winding. Any wire rated for 15KV or better should be fine.
