Definately not normal, and there is no syncro on the reverse gear.

If you can't get it into reverse without grinding after stopped for a couple of seconds, it would seem that you are not getting disengagement of the gearbox via the clutch. The countershaft is still spinning and causing the grinding while engaging reverse. Since reverse is the only gear without a syncronizer, it is the easiest to indicate a clutch not releasing fully. I agree that you may be able to stop the spinning countershaft by shifting into second prior to shifting to reverse, but the bottom line is you are not getting the gearbox to disengage fully.
