It should behave the same as when using required_hits.
Required_hits is merely an alias for required_score, they can't
behave differently.

Hmm, what are the permissions on /etc/mail/spamassassin and
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf?
Any chance either or both are owner-only and not readable by the spamd user?
ls -al /etc/mail/spamassassin/
drwxr-xr-x 6 spamd spamd 4096 Apr 6 17:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 6 11:34 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 spamd spamd 8275 Apr 6 17:14
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
Very weird behavior....
