What you would consider 'normal' I cannot say. I would say that 'normal' is FIDE rules, and that would mean a draw. But according to the rules described in the Mansindam article black would lose, while in the variant.ini (which you presumably used in the 30 games with Stockfish) white would indeed lose.

Another point is that you will never see losses by repetitions from engines, because engines are programmed to avoid losing. They would avoid an immediate loss at any cost. So the only thing that you could hope to see is some very bad moves it was forced to do to prevent a repetition.
