Totally normal. Just take the kettle off the heat, stir until it is completely dissolved and then add it back to the heat.

I had this happen as well until I changed when I add the DME. Kind of along the same lines of what bradsul said I add the DME after pulling any steeping grains I use and before I crank up the heat to bring the water to a boil. Seems to me that the lower amount of steam coming off the water reduces the clumping.

Remove the pot from the flame. The rising steam/heat starts the clumping action.
I pour 1 lb at a time and dissolve before adding the next lb in. This makes it easier and dissolves faster.
