This is completely normal for any powered mixing of any paint. There are only two downsides, both relatively minor: - If you measure the amount of paint that you intend to reduce for spraying, and measure the amount of reducing solvent that you use, you will have slightly less paint than your measurement because of the air volume.
- Air (oxygen in particular) is the enemy of all uncured coatings. This is not usually a problem unless you regularly froth your paints and plan on keeping them for years.
By the way, in my experience, I've never had to use a powered mixer on Tamiya paint, even when it was over twenty years old. Hand stirring is adequate.

A little strangeness, now and then, is a good thing…
