This is expected. The clause you add with MUST does just that, any documents returned MUST have that term. The SHOULD part of the query just says will simply bump the scores of documents with that clause.
As to scores being different on the queries (and I'm having a hard time understanding your point, so I may be way off base here), comparing scores between different queries is meaningless. Scores are ways of ranking documents in a single query. See the scoring discussion on the Wiki for why...
