They do, but not because the lens is soft, it's just the very limited DOF at work here.
That's one of the lessons to learn with a long lens: there's hardly any subject flat enough to fit the DOF of a long lens, even if it's stopped down. This can be a real challenge in the field for both the photographer and the camera's AF.
