No, this is not normal.

Indeed.

What makes you think it might be different with downloaded images?

Which board are you talking about? Maybe you want to try your  "cp.b"
test  with  different  sizes,  using  a  copy  count  of "4*N+i" with
arbitrary N and i=0, 1, 2, and 3. Maybe your board's flash driver has
a problem handling unaligned tail bytes.

Best regards,
