I don't think this is a good thing, but probably won't hurt anything except wear your starter out sooner.
It sounds like the solinoid is sticky and stays connected briefly after key off.
In warmer weather, or warm engine, I'd bet it doesn't do it. Unless there is something else someone else knows more about these starters, a different cause, and cure, I'd pull the starter and see what is holding, or hanging up, the solinoid from breaking contact? BB
