  If you avoid the texture wrapper it does. Try this and you will see that
the pigment pattern scales with the box but the normal remains uneffected.
It is all in how you order the operations in the object statement.

camera { location z*-4 >look_at 0}

light_source{<-10,10,-10>rgb 1}

box{-1,1
    pigment {gradient y color_map{[.5 red 1][.5 blue 1]}}
    scale <1,1,1>
    normal {crackle 1 scale .5}
  translate x*-1
}


box{-1,1
    pigment {gradient y color_map{[.5 red 1][.5 blue 1]}}
    scale <1,.5,1>
    normal {crackle 1 scale .5}
  translate x*1
}
