Its not unusual. There is a breather pipe down to the sump that removes oil vapour when the bike is up to temp. If the sump has been over filled, then there could be extra oil drawn up to the aircleaner.

Give the aircleaner a good clean up and check again in 10 -20000 Ks

I noticed a minor amount of oil around the base of my 1100's air filter as well when I replaced it a few weeks back. Old filter was in for 70,000 km and oil free so no drama.
