After sleeping on this overnight, I think the answer here is clear. figimage is meant to be a pixel dump, so we should just treat a pixel as a dot. When dpi is increased, the number of dots on the canvas increases so the figimage should look smaller. I added your patch and support for magnification to figimage -- the output looks right for PNG, PDF and EPS -- svg still not. I haven't had a chance to look but perhaps SVG does not utilize the magnification param. I'll check into this later.
