I just came back to this thread and suddenly realized what the OP meant by the EV changing when it was set to manual mode - yes, it changes when metering. The EV indicator is reacting to changes in lighting, and while it isn't actually changing settings in the camera, it's more like it's showing you which way you should adjust your settings to get a good exposure. So when you're shooting this way, just ignore the EV indicator.
