Yah, this is normal - the whole idea of the Micro thing is because Linksys somehow does something to the stock firmware - on some models only - that limits the physical size of a new upload using the stock GUI. Once you install the Micro one time and get it running then you're no longer locked into a physical size limits, future upgrades can be larger and you skip the Micro step(s).
EDIT: for completeness I should mention there are some routers which can only run the Micro version due to limited flash memory in them, but that's not what I'm referring to here.
