Anyone else experience similar drops in heart rate whilst
exercising compared to their normal heart rate?

No. Never.

Me neither, and I'm skeptical your HRM was correct.

Or, according to Livestrong it could be:

Still skeptical. I believe the article is talking about a drop
from typical exercies rates, and not to rates lower than resting.
Frankly, I can't believe a heart rate while exercising could ever
be lower than a resting heart rate (unless maybe it's gone to
zero).
