Yes, that's normal - those pages are not marked with the namespace TECHNICALLY, just in the page name. If you're going to have to move them manually, best thing you can do is to undo the enabling of the custom namespace, and move all the pages to, for example, CustomNS1temp: (Special:Prefixindex can be helpful here) then activate CustomNS1: as a namespace, then move them into it.

Just a short question: is it the normal behaviour that the content of existing pages with a custom namespace dissappears after I enable the namespace in the wikiengine?
Maybe it should be done the other way round, but now we have done the following:
- created some pages e.g. "customNS:page1", "customNS:page2"
- enabled the custom namsspace named "customNS" in the wiki engine.
- result: all pagecontent on the pages "customNS:page1",
"customNS:page2" was gone.
Is this the normal behaviour or do I miss something?
