Nope, a tube arcing over at startup is not normal. It is the indication of either a bad tube or some problem in the circuit. That said, it is not a bad idea to start the Crack up and let it warm up for a bit before plugging in headphones if you are unsure of the amp's or tube's behavior.

Gotcha. Not much else to blame except my soldering skills  ;D

If anything, this has been a good learning experience. Thanks for the response.
