A quick test suggests this also applies to staff text. Maybe all text for all I know. 1.3 basically hardocded the scaled-down (or up) font size into each text element. it seems we are honoring this on import into 2.0, and *then* apply the scaling on top of that. So things are basically scaled twice
This also may be responsible for a curious effect with fingering. 1.3 never scaled it in the first place (a bug I guess) so it was the unscaled size that was hardcoded in the file. We are now doing the same with fingeirng that we are for lyrics - reading the hardcoded size then scaling it. So we are, in effect, now fixing the 1.3 bug. If we stop the double-scaling of other text, we will probably also restore the 1.3 bug, for imported scores anyhow. So I guess that's good, maybe. See http://musescore.org/en/node/32856
The biggest question is how to change the size, or have a style applied to all the lyrics at once?
If not for #24436: Changes made in Text Properties do not affect all selected elements the workaround would be simple.
And for scores created from scratch in 2.0, things correctly in the first place - just change the text style.
It's only going to be lyrics in 1.3 scores with non-default scaling that will need to be reset. And nothing I've tried - short of running text properties and hitting Rest to Style on each syllable one at a time - works.
