Is this bokeh expected?

common issue with this lens.

I just picked up a Canon 6D with the 35mm f/2 lens today. I snapped these two pics at the local cafe and was wondering if the bokeh behind the guy sipping his coffee is as expected. It seems like there is some weird duplication going on, versus the bokeh behind the picture of the coffee, which is very pleasing to me.

This is why i decided against this lens when i had the chance to buy it. The lens does not produce pleasing results with busy backgrounds. If you really care about bokeh i would look further: http://www.slrlounge.com/school/canon-lenses-bokeh-showdown/

Cheers.
