If this is the case I guess I should always shoot raw with jpg to cover my butt right ?

I believe in Av mode you don't have the option to change the EV scale with the round right hand thumb button. When you are on P, you have the option to move the EV scale. I would guess that when you go to P mode, your EV scale is not on 0, it's higher which gives you hot spots.
