I can confirm this behaviour but I don't think this is an error. The
description of `text-scale-set' reads:

C-h f text-scale-set RET

,----
| text-scale-set is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in
| `face-remap.el'.
| 
| (text-scale-set LEVEL)
| 
| Set the scale factor of the default face in the current buffer to LEVEL.
| If LEVEL is non-zero, `text-scale-mode' is enabled, otherwise it is disabled.
| 
| LEVEL is a number of steps, with 0 representing the default size.
| Each step scales the height of the default face by the variable
|           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| `text-scale-mode-step' (a negative number decreases the height by
| the same amount).
`----

The first time `org-mode-hook' is run the height of default font is
scaled by 4 levels, i.e. the height of default font is set to a new
value. The second time `org-mode-hook' is run the height is scaled
again, this time based on the new value. And so on.

If you want to set the face height you might use:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 100)

Here `100' means 100% of the font size in pt (afaik).

Best,
