Yes, it is totally normal for the numbers to be misaligned – especially as they approach a major rollover and after one. Being over 100k won't make any change to alignment characteristics that wasn't evident before 100k. Between each number wheel is a thin plate with a small "button" on it. Simplistically, as the wheel to the right approaches a complete revolution, the wheel contacts the "button" which then contacts a boss on the next wheel and gradually pushes it to advance one more digit. The higher the place value, the more gradual and pronounced the "misalignment" for a longer time.
