if I process raw of pictures where there are areas with burned lights, and I
use the exposure setting to underexpose I get all highlights magenta

on the left the original as it comes out from the camera without adjustment,
on the right the only thing I did was (in lightroom, or camera raw) to set
the exposure to - 1,9
(but magenta is already visible with a minor adjustment and turns stronger
going further)

Is it a normal behavior or something is wrong with the sensor?

That is not due to the sensor, but to how Lightroom / Camera RAW tries
to recover the blown highlights.
