No, this should work exactly as in v1.8. You can test it by inputing the
following MTX file with a scaled suffix

\relax
\metrics

\ifisint{rawscale}\then
  \message{Scale factor is \strint{rawscale}.}
\else
  \message{This file is not being scaled.}
\fi

\endmetrics

You will get a message saying which scaling factor is being used.
