As far as my knowledge goes, that extension creates an account on its own, gives it admin rights so it can automatically block users if certain filters are set to do that. So yes, that behaviour is normal. You can simply unadmin that account and the extension won't be able to block users if that's what you want.

To take the admin rights back, just go to Special:UserRights and enter the name of the account there and then uncheck the administrator checkbox and click save.
