This seems to be normal for an optimized miner.

The miner does not stop mining the sieve until the original one is verified by a slow  mpz_nextprime() call.  When your miner is significantly faster than the PoW function you tend to find lots of shares before the PoW can stop the sieve from mining.

Thanks for the info and I will implement a small sieve for validation and use a single exponentiation test at each end point; it should be at least 100x faster and less than 1/(2128) probability of it being a larger gap.
