If that's the case, it is a bug. A point is a point is a point, no matter the number of pixels, it is supposed to be an absolute unit, equal to 1/72 of an inch. Changing the definition of absolute units can only be valid as a shortcut for zooming/magnifying, but not for changing font size.

What happens with margins or image sizes defined in terms of points (or inches or millimetres)?
