OK, so I quit playing with Reality long enough to look more closely at the scene, and it looks like the top is the only one that is messed up. From what I can tell, it knows how to respond to that dial already, so when I clicked on the "scale automatically" check box on properties for the body, it doubled the scaling. Something that wasn't happening in the previous version. 

So, it looks like it's not a big deal, except for the occassional scene you might have these special items "double dipping", and it can easily be fixed by unchecking a single box....phew! Not that scaling is a huge deal. But, it could be a hassle if you figure is scaled differently in multiple places.
