That is the rev limiter kicking in. At between 78-84 mph depending on the state of the belt, rollers and tyres.

Perfectly normal.

Yup. Absolutely expected behavior. The short dropout is how the ECU keeps the RPM of the engine from exceeding safe levels.

I hit indicated 85mph on mine this AM on the way to work. No dropout at all, just hang on!

85 indicated could be as little as 75, depending on the degree of your speedo error. And no, you wouldn't feel the dropout there.
