I don't think this is normal. These type of messages are usually associated with a STP loop. Disable the redundant links in your
Port-Channel and see what happens. But first check the cpu occupation on both switches: show proc cpu | ex 0.00.

Subject: Fallback Bridging Console Message: Is This Normal?

I have 2 switches trunked together in this lab scenario. The scenario instructs me to do fallback bridging for VLANs 999 and 1000.
On SW 1 I configured an SVI for each vlan, and configured the fallback bridging. On the first switch, I now continually get the
below output: Note, the switches are linked via po12 port-channel. My first thought is that this is absolutely normal because the
VLANs are bridged, but I wanted to make sure. It definitely is an annoyance when trying to finish the rest of the lab (I always turn
on "logging con deb" so I can see everything necessary in the lab)

6d16h: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 000b.46e2.6997 in bridge group 1 is flapping between port Po12 (Vl1000) and port Po12 (Vl999)
