The user error was actually in the quoting in my email: I'd tried both #'1.5 and #1.5 and neither had worked. Thanks to those who pointed out the requirement for white space between the font size specification and the curly brace: #'1.5 } and #1.5 } both work. #1.5} doesn't work, and I'd not picked this up from the documentation since I tend to put commands of this sort on a single line, which the documentation doesn't.

There's a big warning about this right at the beginning of the Learning Manual. Section 1.1.1 "Entering input" says "... braces should also be surrounded by a space unless they are at the beginning or end of a line to avoid ambiguities."
