Yes it is normal!

The rate tables that tc use normally have an 8 byte steps, so it is 
possible for up to a 56bit/s error per packet and you have 300 pps.

There was a small patch submitted for tc to make the error fall on the 
underrate rather than overrate side, but I think it got lost in the 
middle of the long ATM overhead patch thread on netdev.
