Tachometer "flutter"

Just purchased a used 2013 Pathfinder platinum for my wife. Has 47,000 miles but seems to be in good shape. I noticed while driving it today that the tachometer "flutters" while at idle. By fluttering i mean a very slight bounce of about 50 to 100 RPM. This happens both when stopped or when the car is in park. The engine seems to run fine and there are no warning indicators popping up. I went by and asked the dealership (carmax) where we purchased it, and was told this is completely normal for the pathfinder due to the transmission. I find this odd as I also own a 2013 Altima with the same type of transmission and the tach is rock solid on it.

Anyone else experience this type of flutter? Is it indeed normal?
