So far this is specced this way by design. I can see how this isn't exactly awesome but I'm not sure whether we should change unity8's behavior (to allow changing the launcher's size in staged mode too) or if the settings page should hint that this will work only in desktop mode.

Make sure 'Desktop mode' is switched off 1. Go to System Setting > Launcher 2. Move the slider to change 'Icon size' Expected result: The launcher is revealed so I can see what changes I'm making with the slider What happens instead: If I move the slider to the left: nothing happens. If I move the slider to the right: the launcher 'jumps' a bit like it was trying to show up but never really shows up.
