Pete,
No, this isn't normal. Sounds like the motor/bearings are dirty. The extra
torque of the high speed is enough to overcome the "stickiness" and get the
motor spinning, after which the low speed will keep it running. The low speed
setting doesn't have enough torque to "break it loose."
Or, the electrical connections for the low speed are not very good. If the
motor doesn't get full voltage on the low setting, the results could be the
same as above (coupled with dirty bearings).
