This is now in master too, and I really like it.  I can now do a config like
this and it all works:

<match target="font">
  <test name="scalable" compare="eq">
    <bool>false</bool>
  </test>
  <edit name="pixelsizefixupfactor" mode="assign">
    <divide>
      <name target="pattern">pixelsize</name>
      <name target="font"   >pixelsize</name>
    </divide>
  </edit>
  <edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
    <times>
      <name>matrix</name>
      <matrix>
        <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name> <double>0</double>
        <double>0</double> <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
       </matrix>
    </times>
  </edit>
  <edit name="size" mode="assign">
    <divide>
      <name>size</name>
      <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
    </divide>
  </edit>
</match>

The nice thing about this config is that it doesn't touch the pixelsize so
clients that directly pass that to FreeType will continue working.  Clients
that support matrix on bitmaps will pickup the resizing.

All that is left is to come up with a sane default config.  I'll give it a try
and report back.
