you have to remember that burnt tissue isn't as "stable" as healthy tissue (i don't know how to put this better in english). it will break and fall apart.
since a plasma/energy sword is (propably) a lot hotter than modern tools used to cauterize (small) wounds it wouldn't just cauterize the tissue in close vicinity, it would burn a whole lot more than necessary (to cauterize), resulting in a much bigger wound full of burnt tissue, which will rupture/break apart and let the fluids fly.
