Any idea if it is usual for a CJ of an HC to be transferred to another HC?

Yes. J. Dipak Misra, Patna CJ was transferred as CJ, Delhi in 2011. Similarly, J. Mohit Shah, Calcutta CJ was transferred as CJ, Bombay. There are many more such examples

They do this when they can't elevate a well deserving CJ of a HC to SC for some reasons, known only to the 'collegium'..

Hope Mr. Kaul gets his dues paid soon !!
