it's normal. gone through two esteems both did that on any rom I used. Stock you cant even run the camera with a low battery.
The issue is the batteries fault, when low it's not providing enough juice for flash, AND system at the same time.
Engineers could have fixed this by using a capacitor to power the flash. charging a capacitor would take a few seconds delay between flashes, but would leave the battery power to the phone when using the flash.
I noticed my brand new battery can flash (without issues) at a lower % than my old pack.
