@corey wood - I can confirm your finding.
I did this:
1. scale to 200%
2. reboot - the login screen shows
3- login --> screen power save mode happens
4. ctrl-alt-3 and then log in at the console
5. Change "<scale>" from 2 to 1 in ~/.config/monitors.xml
6. ctrl-alt-2 to switch back to graphical environment. The monitor is still in power save mode
7. ctrl-alt-back to kill the X server
8. login screen appears
9. login in and I am back at scaling=100%
