This is almost certainly a shortcoming of the interface rather than of 
GNU Go. Most likely it expects you to mark dead stones yourself somehow 
and doesn't even consult GNU Go on the score or the status of stones. It 
may or may not be possible to configure it to make use of GNU Go's 
scoring capabilities, that's beyond my knowledge.

Similar questions have been asked before, see e.g.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnugo-devel/2005-11/msg00006.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnugo-devel/2005-09/msg00002.html

and their replies.
