So this is only half an answer, but hopefully something that will help you.

The 'better' way to put an image over something like text or shape is using a clipping mask. This method is generally better because it leaves clean edges around the text or object whereas using a blend mode can affect objects/text around the blended object as well.

To use a clipping mask:


make sure the layer you want to blend over text/object is on top of the text/object.
Right click on the top layer and select 'Create clipping mask'


Your layers will now look like this:


When using this method I do not have the problem you describe in your post so hopefully it will also accidentally solve your problem.
