I think it's a feature.  Otherwise, expiring score entries and the
interactive scoring commands wouldn't work (or would be very, very hard
to implement in a satisfactory manner).

You can put the stuff that requires extensive comments (for example,
tricky regexps) into a separate file, put `(read-only t)' into it,
and include this file from the regular score file using `(file "blah")'.

But as a result, Gnus sometimes selects the wrong default score file
for the interactive scoring files (i.e., one of the read-only files).
You can correct that with

(setq  gnus-home-score-file 'gnus-score-file-name)

in your ~/.gnus file.
