Hi Daniel,
Thanks. `dpkg -s libmutter-6-0 | grep Version` indicated I was still on
the old version, turns out I had upgraded mutter, but also needed to
upgrade libmutter as well:
# apt upgrade mutter/focal-proposed
# apt upgrade gir1.2-mutter-6/focal-proposed libmutter-6-0/focal-proposed
I've run the upgrade and rebooted and the settings are now read
correctly (the screen layout and scaling were preserved after the
restart).
Nothing more needed at this point, issue appears fixed to me.
Thanks,
Karl

Title:
Display scale not remembered when X11 Fractional Scaling is enabled
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Focal:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
After upgrading to 19.04, I enabled the experimental 'x11-randr-
fractional-scaling' setting. If I set scaling to 125, 150, or 200%,
the setting is remembered and used the next time I log in. If I set
scaling to 100%, however, the next time I log in the scaling switches
back to 200% automatically. I only want to use fractional scaling for
external monitors.
[ Test case ]
- Use a multi-monitor setup
- Enable Fractional scaling under X11 (from display settings)
- Setup mixed-DPI settings in gnome-control-center
- Log-out
- Log-in again
+ Settings should be preserved
[ Regression potential ]
It's not possible to set some scaling combinations any more with
multiple or single monitors.
- Configuration is not restored at all.
[ Known issue ]
Monitor settings won't be preserved disabling fractional scaling or
enabling it in the wayland session.
-----
Background: This is on a Dell XPS 9360 with a 1920x1080 ~168 DPI
screen. Pretty standard configuration. I have my DisplaySize set to
294x165 in Xorg.conf, Xft.dpi=168, GTK font scaling factor 1.0.
I have been unable to find an appropriate combination of settings
where 168 DPI is respected for accurate font rendering, while at the
same time not scaling up the rest of the UI to unusable proportions.
Fractional scaling seems to be the only way to adjust some Gnome UI
elements.
