At least some thing like this keeps us on our toas lol, but it also increases the tension of waiting.

And what's exactly wrong with it? If a MBH tries to kill a Jedi Knight and is slain in combat, the JediKnight gets a small bonus in FRS XP. I still can't see what's wrong about it.

Well, first, the devs said that jedi wouldnotget FRS XP for killing any non-jedi. Second, Why should I master BH if it is going to aid the jedi I am trying to kill? Third, this makes it so jedi can kill someone whos death doesn't matter in the long run (MBH) due to lack of a death penalty, over and over to rank. And lastly, as a bounty hunter, I get no benefit to killing a jedi knight when I don't have a mission on the jedi, but when a jedi kills me in any setting, the jedi gets the benefit.

I do not think thata Jedi should be rewarded for killing a BH trying to collect a bounty on said Jedi. They already get reward enough by just being able to become a Jedi and level to knight to become the most powerfull entity in the game.
Personally, I do not think this is a big deal though, because at least the BH does not lose anything.
Now, if they start penalizing BH's for losing to a Jedi that is his mark, I will be whinning louder that any 10 Jedi have ever whinned to date.
Ok, I guess I do have an issue with them being able to farm us for FS points though. THIS HAS GOT TO GO THEN!!!!

Exactly - you don't lose anything. You don't have any FRS XP pool from which those points were deducted and slowed a progress in any of your skills. And it doesn't work the way that a Jedi can simply select a MBH he spots at the starport and kill him at will for FRS XP how it happened not so long ago with normal overt players. I think this was added just as to silence the Jedi who said they get nothing from killing their pursuer.
If you see a Jedi who's clearly farming a MBH or group of them for FRS XP, then you are advised to report him for abusing the system. Simple as that.

What if said BH was trying to get some FS exp to go with his BH skills? Would this take some of these points from said BH?

No. FRS XP and FS XP is something entirely different. As you said FS XP (Force Sensitive) you need to advance in the Force Sensitive skills, but FRS XP (Force Ranking System) is of use only to Jedi Knights who need this XP to gain the ranks in the FRS. A slain MBH loses absolutly nothing worth to him.

125 xp for full damage done to a master Bounty hunter
once the jedi reaches rank 1 Sentinel/Enforcer he has to pay maintenace daily(frs xp deducted every day when they log in) jedi loses from 500-700+ frs xp when the jedi dies to ANY ONE (bounty hunter/non jedi/ padawan/ knight) yet we only get xp for master bounty hunters and jedi. whats to complain about, we used t get xp from every person we kill no matter what profession they are, they limited it to MBHs and Jedi so we (jedi) are actually suffering if you didnt know. a jedi who tries to kill MBHs in his guild or w/e to gain rank wont make it very far because the maintenace costs get higher and higher with each rank. fighting other jedi is very difficult becuase they all travel in gank squads and when they are about to die they force run 2 or 3 away(also noted they nerfed forcerun 2 and 3 so we can not do a considerate amount of damage , so chasing them is just plain stupid). fighting other jedi is useless right now, frs jedi have lost 3+ ranks since patch 10. stop crying no jedi will ever make it higher then rank 1 or 2 ever if the system is as is now

That does not sound bad to me at all then. I can live with this. Not that I would have had a choice anyways... Lol.
I have to admit that I find it VERY humorus that Jedi are now getting to see what we BH's have to contend with when we go after a Jedi in a Gank Group, whenthey force run away from you, hide in houses and water and battlefields.
I am not complaning, because If I were a Jedi I would be doing exactly the same things in the name of self preservation.
The BH (And Jedi Knights now.) have to play it "Smart", otherwise we will not get our marks.
Actually, I feel that this FRS exp thing is just that much more incentive to make sure you get your mark before he/she gets you.
