Yes this is expected behaviour. /etc/group lists secondary group memberships, /etc/passwd (and related files) list the primary groups.
Most of the tools you're using to investigate group membership (groupinfo, getent etc) only list secondary groups. "id katia" is showing first the primary group (gid=31), and then a list of all groups this user has permissions for (either primary or secondary).
