And, as I've said a million times, the leaderboards BARELY ever work on original wii either.
From talking to both Nintendo customer support and HMX customer support, I am near 100% sure that the fault of the leaderboards not working falls completely on Nintendo. As best I can understand without them giving me behind the scenes access, it has something to do with connecting to the Nintendo servers and the Wii U saying in layman's terms "I'm a Wii U not a Wii". It is the same reason that many of the Wii channels (Check Mii out, Everybody Votes, etc) do not appear on the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii U when they do on the Wii.
As a side note, I've never had many issues with the rock central servers on the Wii aside from the occasional server errors, so I'd guess that the Wii not connecting very well must be an internet connection/ISP problem, not an HMX problem.
