No, that just happens if you launch the game before it finishes downloading. PS4 games have the ability to launch after a minimal set of bits are downloaded. The Destiny Beta needs to have all its bits, though, which is why you see what you see.

Your PS4 would have continued to download bits even if you didn't launch it.

Nice! I assume for the retail release we'll be able to start playing before the entire game is downloaded, i.e. we can start exploring Old Russia while Venus is still coming down the pipe.
