Completely normal, especially with Cavendish-types, some plantains (Hoa Moa, as mentioned, is a particular offender), and Sucriers. (and a number of ornamentals, notably M. dasycarpa which splits when it's ripe.)

I've noticed more splitting occurs in my Cav-types and Sucriers when I've had an abnormally wet or rainy season while the fruit were setting.
