Just in case anyone happens to have this same problem and wants a quick workaround, I'm using this instead of \teeny: \override NoteHead.font-size = #-3 Instead of \normalsize: \override NoteHead.font-size = #0 This seems to work regardless of magnification, if all you care about is the note heads. It's precisely the same effect as \teeny and \normalsize on a non-magnified staff.
