Boolean similarity module with fuzzy search scoring

I've updated the default similarity module for my index to be boolean. The score should only be based on whether the query terms match or not.

Boolean similarity gives terms a score equal to their query boost

However, when I do a fuzzy search, I am not getting a score equal to the boost value. Is this a bug? Is there a configuration I'm missing to just use the query boost value for the score when doing a fuzzy search? e.g. Here is the relevant part of my query:

    {
      "query": {
        "multi_match": {
                    "fields": [
                      "canonicalName_EN.prefix^1000"
                    ],
                    "minimum_should_match": "4<80%",
                    "query": "boston",
                    "fuzziness": "AUTO",
                    "prefix_length": 2,
                    "type": "best_fields"
                  }
      },
      "size": 6,
      "_source": ["display_EN"]
    }

And here is the explain:
