Well I once investigated a bit on how the different engines set
magnification and how this interfere with pdfpagewidth +
true-size-settings 
(e.g. 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/msg/0e433ab85cd02250
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/xetex/2008-February/008419.html +
following)

and decided at the end that it is best to avoid \mag settings ;-)
