This appears to be the case for all languages too, the stemming will skew similarity and result in unrelated documents scoring higher than they need to. Some people seem to be working around this by having two fields where one is stemmed and the other isn't. You could then use the stemmed field when doing queries but use the non-stemmed field for MoreLikeThis.
