It could be, but it isn't neccessarily.

"0.0" is a perfectly legal score that can result from a query ... q=solr^0 
is an example of a query that will most certainly result in a score of 0 
for a matching document, but there are lots of other possibilities as 
well.  (Even negative scores are possible if you use function queries)

You would need to provide some details about your queries/docs/schema 
(including the explain output from debugQuery) to really have any idea 
whether the zero scores you are getting are "correct" or a bug.
