Looks more like chromatic aberration to me.

Is this normal?

~This is not normal even if there is the typical corner sharpness problem with all compact cameras.
I have a canon Ixus 40, and at wide angle 35mm, it has only slight softness at the 4 corners. Even if I don't like the softness, I can still crop a little bit off the 4 sides and still get a good photo.
For your case, the softness has invaded too much into the photo at the right hand corner, more than the other 3 corners, and this is unacceptable. :nono:
I have no idea why someone can say this is normal and accept the result as it is. How to take photo with this kind of defect?:nono: Unless you treat it as a "lensbaby" effect.:bsmilie:
Go and get it fixed at Canon.

How many MP is Ixus40? How many MP are modern day cameras? Any imperfection on a 4MP photo will be magnified many times on a 12MP photo.
Do you think it makes any difference when view at the same size in the web when the monitor display is only 72 dpi?
A lens flaw is a lens flaw, no matter whether it is a 4 Mp or 12 Mp camera. Just like you use a lensbaby on a dslr; Does it make any difference in the amount of 'blur' between a 6 Mp & 12 Mp camera?
We wouldn't know if it was a lens issue until TS bring the camera down for a check in the CSC. It might be normal for some people and adnormal for others, depending on everyone's expectation.
Like I have mentioned before, if you find it of a issue, give CSC a call and have your camera serviced, then hear what the CSC had to say.

You can take a look at the sample images from Cameralabs.
