actually, I'm not sure if localToGlobal does anything with the scaling. I have the feeling it simply adds coordinates of parent movieclips to the local ones..
I'm not sure what you're doing and how, but it *does* take into consideration the whole movieclip matrix info - rotation, scaling, skewing, etc. It's really the best way to translate a position from one movieclip to another.
