I can reproduce this with Ubuntu 23.10.1. It is necessary to select large text while running the installer (I did use the new installer.) The key difference is on a host installed without selecting large text in the installer, "gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor" will reset the factor to 1.0. On a host installed *with* selecting large text in the installer, it will reset the factor to 1.25. Presumably the installer is somehow setting the default value in the installed image, but I don't know how to check that. Also presumably, the Accessibility menu implements "turn on large text" to mean "set text-scaling-factor 1.25" and "turn off large text" to mean "reset text-scaling-factor". So once the default value is set to 1.25, turning off is effectively a no-op. I do not know whether the bug here is in the installer -- that it shouldn't push the install value into the defaults of the image -- or in the accessibility dialog, which maybe should implement "turn off large text" as "set text-scaling-factor 1.0".
