That's perfectly normal appearance if you use inner bleed other than zero in pdf export settings. Your pdf looks ready for printer, unless you're going to spiral bind your printed document.

Except single page or spiral bound projects, inner bleed is actually not needed and always cut. However, many printers prefer to do it themselves, and ask designer to leave ALL bleeds, just like you did.

That said, you may check with your printer, but I bet you did everything right.

As a prepress operator for a commercial printer, I would have no issue accepting a PDF prepared like that - the images are hidden by the spine of the book so not an issue.

A way to deal with this issue is to set the inside bleed to 0:

so an ID file set up like this:

will make a pdf like this:

Otherwise there is a preflight that can be run in Acrobat that can remove anything outside of the trim area:

If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!
