You can run this simple code and see my problem. Am I doing something wrong?

Your sparse matrix filled default cost wit 0 not 99. Then your expectation on that the result is identocal for different cost matrices (regardless data structure using) is simply plain wrong.
If you fill sparse or dense matrix with the same values it give identical outputs:

One way to use sparse and keep filling 0 is to shift the value of the cost matrix
