Kyle, Scale and offset are basically a form of metadata, and it is ambiguous how much metadata gets transferred by processing tasks, like gdalwarp. In cases where gdalwarp is being used to warp into an existing output file it would not be appropriate to transfer the scale and offset. However, in the case that gdalwarp is initializing a new output file it would seem reasonable to also copy over the scale and offset. I believe some recent changes were made to copy other metadata, and this would seem to fall into a similar category. I'd suggest fixing yourself, or writing up a ticket on the topic.
