This has been my experience as well. I don't add sugar to my espresso but I tried it once with a smokey decaf french roast -- I was out of my usual Fresco coffees -- and it did not improve the taste, just made it different.

I find that sugar can balance out some of the flaws in a poorly pulled shot. I've had bitter, thin shots in some cafes that became less bitter and somewhat more fruity or caramelly once sugar was added. It depends how bad the shot is. Sugar won't help a 9 second gusher, but it might help a 20 second shot that was pulled a little too hot. IMHO
