I think this is an old and very strange problem, which is illustrated by the 
following code

\version "2.16.2"
music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
 
\score {
        \new Staff {\music}
        \layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 80)}
}

\score {
        \new Staff {\music }
        \layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 5)}
}

It's difficult to see why anyone thinks that this (mis)function should even be 
in LilyPond.  The strangeness is only exacerbated by the fact that it's 
documented at the end of section 4.2.2 (Setting the Staff Size) in the 2.16 
Notation Reference:

Known issues and warnings

layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines. 


Maybe the documentation should address how the staff size can be changed 
without changing the distance between the staff lines.
