You must have done something to cause the difference.  Here's a file I
previewed and then exported, using identical settings in the export dialog
both times, and without changing anything in between:

e3cd49b5f3ec7209f9151329fa43da1b6fc1503c  609_lilypondview/rosegardenv5zlPa.ly
e3cd49b5f3ec7209f9151329fa43da1b6fc1503c  exported.ly

Exactly the same.

I think I'm the one who implemented this originally.  If not, I had a hand in
it along the way, because I have a clear memory of offering all the point
sizes that were valid in LilyPond at that time.

Perhaps this limitation is no longer true.  LilyPond has changed a great deal
since those days.  I'll investigate this as soon as I get a chance.
