The example of comment #6 can be reproduced with stable 0.92.x too (leave current group, unlock, unhide all, select all across layers, scale with mouse from center (Shift) with ratio locked (Ctrl)); it seems that the scaling of this specific document structure (depending on the exact selection and current layer(?)) has "worsened" in 0.92.x compared to 0.91, but neither version allows to scale the drawing content of the original version [1] while keeping appearance the same unless the original of the clones is excluded from scaling (on a hidden and locked layer in the original version).

My conclusion for now is that if 'Scale test - all' is to replace 'Scale elements' (in 0.92.x), the new scaling option needs more testing (if the project wants to determine a set of 'known issues'): testing whether known issues with current 'Scale elements' are exposed or not is helpful, but does not cover other issues that might be more specific to 'Scale test - all' (aka Inkscape's scaling of a compound selection).
