I've not been following this thread, but I think layout-set-staff-size is not 
useful here.
(I can't see what it does either.)

Have you looked at 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/distances-and-measurements
This explains how to change the staff-size locally, and how magstep is invoked 
to
make a corresponding change to the font.
