Right. I issue that diagnostic only if the magnification is any
different from 1000.

That should show it (something like 2074 or so).

This is all exactly identical. Only after you finally are finished,
multiply by any specified magnification divided by 1000.
And you probably want to do the same for the fontsize when using it
for getting well-proportioned math insets.
BTW, prosper is a bit of a nuisance: it changes the default font size
_after_ \begin{document} in case you are using any style like
contemporain, so the size adjustment does not work. But I don't know
whether LyX currently caters for prosper, anyway.
