Shouldn't it add percentage/2 like it does if it's setting it for the
first time?  Or is the /2 just for the first time on purpose to not
set a track as score=100 after just having played it once?

You mean either 25% or 510, right?

Thanks a lot for the explanation, it helped a lot.  This will require
a small change to Banshee core to do, you're right, but it shouldn't
be hard.  Look at DatabaseTrackInfo's IncrementPlay/Skip count - could
modify those methods to take the percent complete and save that to the
database.
