OS usually doesn't tell the correct monitor DPI to the application but
usually just reports 96 DPI (if no scaling is applied). In windows you
can change the scale levels - 100%, 125%, 150%, 200%,... which just
adjusts what DPI is reported to the application (100% - 96DPI, 125% -
120DPI, 150% - 144 DPI, 200% - 192DPI...) so the application can scale
accordingly (at least fonts). I'm not sure how OSX does this.

You should check what DPI is actually reported to LO - OutputDevice
has mnDPIX and mnDPIY - check where they are set and to what value.
DPI influences how pixels are converted to and from actual units (mm,
inch, twips,..) It could be that we transform between units just too
much and the error accumulates if the DPI is set to a weird value.
Tracking this down could be tricky.
