Yes this is expected behavior to protect the content of the VM.  This is not specific to instant clones.  see this KB https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10005...https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1000590

setting pae-DirtyVMPolicy=2 should help you.
