I don't understand the expectations: the window and frame geometry are
not changed by text-scale-adjust, so why did you expect the window
margins to change?  The margins are part of the window geometry.

Since Emacs 29.1, we have global-text-scale-adjust-resizes-frames,
which, if non-nil, causes the frame to resize when you change the
text-size globally (e.g., with C-M-+ or C-M-mouse-wheel).  If you do
that, the window-margins resize as well, which in this case is indeed
expected (and works for me).

The above is inaccurate: the text shown in the margin can have its own
distinct face.  For example, try this in "emacs -Q":

  M-x font-lock-mode RET
  M-<
  M-: (set-window-margins nil 4 4) RET
  M-: (add-text-properties (point) (1+ (point)) (list 'display (list '(margin left-margin) (propertize "FOO" 'face 'warning)))) RET

You will see the string "FOO" displayed in the margin with a distinct
face.  You could define this face to have an absolute :height
attribute, in which case the text in the margin will not scale, and
thus will not be clipped when you use text-size-adjust.  So there _is_
in fact a way to work around, even if you don't want to use
global-text-scale-adjust-resizes-frames and the globalized
text-scaling.

I see no bug here.

As of Emacs 29.3, changing the text size in a buffer using  
text-scale-adjust has no affect on margin width. Since the text displayed  
in the margins has the same height as the text in the buffer, this  
behavior causes the text in the margin to be clipped if we increase the  
text size too much by using text-scale-adjust. Here are the steps to  
confirm:

1. Launch with "emacs -Q".
2. Evaluate:

   (set-window-fringes nil 0)
   (set-window-margins nil 1)

3. Switch to a scratch buffer.
4. Place the cursor, which should be box-shaped by default, on the  
first-column of the buffer.
5. Increase the text size in the buffer by pressing C-x C-= several times.

   Expected behavior: Left margin has exactly the same width as that of the cursor.
   Current behavior: Left margin has width much smaller than that of the cursor.

It also seems to me that there is no way to work around this problem in  
the Elisp layer, because text-scale-mode works by remapping faces in a  
buffer-local manner; however,
- there is no face defined for the margins, and
- it seems that the pixel width of the margins is not determined in a  
buffer-local manner.

Given that {left,right}-margin-width are buffer-local variables, I would  
expect their pixel width to be determined in a buffer-local manner.
