Identical multisig addresses for bitcoin and litecoin?

Just posted in the wrong forum the following "problem" I found.

Hi there,
I did some test with the multisignature possibilities that offers electrum and how it works. I also did the same with litecoin and managed to create the same multisignature addresses with the same seeds in electrum 2.2 for bitcoin and electrum-ltc 2.1.1.1 for litecoin.

I never expected to create actually the same address for both currencys.
Is this expected to happen?

As for I know litecoin normal addresses start with an "L" and using the same creation process as I did know I created electrum wallets for both but never had similar addresses.

This is not a problem.

Yes.

The private and public keys, and addresses, in Litecoin are exactly the same as they are in Bitcoin.  The address just starts with a different prefix byte.  But under the hood, it's exactly the same.  It's only the mining that's different -- using scrypt instead of sha256, and having blocks come 4x faster.  The public/private keys, and if Litecoin is using P2SH now too, all work exactly the same.
