After entering W 1000px in the Infobar, then hitting enter:

I'd expect the drawing to scale, but instead some unwanted magic is happening.

No, and that's disabled.

The question is: Bug or feature? And is there an easy workaround?

Concerning workaround, I found that the issue does not happen when scaling width and height. Say the drawing is 1000×1000 px², and you want to change width to 1200 px, then:
  1. Scale the drawing in both directions, for example to: 800×800 px²
  2. Scale the drawing in both directions to 1200×1000 px².

Cumbersome, obviously.
