It was normal in my WRX. My car before it (NX2000) had bad spark plugs and would do the same thing right before it would stall, so I found it disconcerting in the WRX but got used to it.

Sometimes in my WRX the idle would drop suddenly when coasting to a stop with clutch in or just sitting idling, and then it would run low and rough for a while. It did this from time to time over the five years I had it, but never seemed to become an issue. I would just give it some gas when it would happen and it would seem to clear up after a bit of rough idling. It never stalled though. Seems common from what I read among other WRX owners.
