Not normal at all, the trailer charging line is wired incorrectly.
There is no way the 12v from the trailer battery should be powering the ignition circuit of the Jeep. My guess is the issue existed before the brake controller was installed. You just discovered it now because the trailer has a battery in it. What happens if you have the key out and the radio playing and then unplug the brake controller? If the radio goes out the tech did something wrong. If the radio keeps playing then the tech did not cause the issue.
