According to PG (I can't find the exact comment right now) the exact opposite has happened - posts with a lot of points get more points, not less.

The reason probably being that when you look at a commentscore you assess whether it has the right score, and if it doesn't you vote it up (or down). If you can't see the scores you can't do this.

I still vote up comments that are greyed out (indicating a negative score) if I think they don't deserve to be downvoted.
