The funny thing about MC scoring is that if white DOES win, then it doesn't matter what black plays, everything loses! That would mean that in a scalability study, where colors are alternated, really strong versions of Mogo would score poorly against the weaker programs. In a serious competition you would want to throttle down the playing strength (when playing black) so that it could win more and not just quit (resign) out of frustration!
Maybe that means that once the (9x9) programs get really strong they should play with the "proper" komi (probably 7) that allows for a jigo. This would ecourage proper play because there's more than win or lose.
