Yes, this is supposedly how it works since... well, a long time. You probably have default system scaling set to something other than the settings used on the first page. This means that NEW systems (in a score with one system per page, this means every new page) use the default scaling.
To fix it, in the Resize tool (looks like a percentage mark) click the first system between staves, but AFTER the key/time signature, and you will get what the current scaling is. Set it in that window to apply to all systems, and click Apply. Remember you have FOUR possible ways for the Resize tool to work; on notes, on staves, on systems (this is the one you want) and on pages. Resizing pages changes the titles as well, so you probably don't want this. There is an oddness with the Resize tool, in that any time you resize the systems on ANY part or score in a file, then new pages in ANY other part or score in the file use THAT scaling, instead of the default. It is easy enough to fix it afterwards, but it is a pain. I often resize piano parts to be a little smaller, then new systems in ALL my other parts end up smaller, too. MakeMusic claims to have fixed this several versions back, but I can assure you that it is still there. There is another way to do this, involving setting the defaults then Redefine all pages in the score, but I find this to be too fussy, and it won't change anything you've set if you have changed one of the other scalings.
