This gives a hint about what it is about: The syntax of \score is:
\score {
 <music expression>
 <optional paper, header, layout and midi blocks>
}

Since "a b" is two separate expressions, while {a b} is one expression, only 
the latter one is OK.

You could say that in \score { { a b } }, the inner braces have a very 
different meaning than the outer ones.
