Yes, you're right, it works.  I had misconfigured my Emacs (configured with the 
Lucid toolkit).  Sorry about the confusion.

I suppose I should mention that when I tried a properly-configured Emacs with 
GDK_SCALE=2 it dumped core for me.  I was running on Fedora 21 x86-64 (which has 
gtk3-3.14.13-1.fc21.x86_64) and displaying over the Internet to Ubuntu 15.04.  I 
can't reproduce the problem so it could be a timing thing.  The core dump occurs 
within gtk_window_get_size, which is called by xg_frame_set_char_size.   I 
wasn't running under a debugger, so I got only this backtrace:
