The stencil command is (partly) to blame. Stencils are passed as is to
the backend. The set-global-staff-size command actually sets the
scaling in the final postscript, so that 1.0 distance unit in the
stencil is exactly one global staff space.

If you want a foolproof solution, define a markup-command, that
constructs the brackets, and adjusts lengths with the magstep of
font-size.
