Confirmed.

After putting some debugging code into note-by.number-markup:

mus = \new Staff { \tempo 4=120 c'1 }

\score {
  \mus
}
%% stem-stencil height: 2.51290232058999

\score {
  \mus
  \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 2) }
}

%% stem-stencil height: 2.66051672727502

\score {
  \mus
  \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 40) }
}
%% stem-stencil height: 2.32216286195653


I followed this one back to 2.12.3, so it's a long standing issue.

Obviously you could construct the MetronomeMark-markups manually.
Though, this is tedious...
Lemme have a closer look at that note-by-number-markup.
