When checking font size with Xara Designer, it tells me that it’s actually
10.91 pt, which I don’t understand as I’m assuming that Scale=1 explicitly
disables scaling.
Note that I’m looking for a general solution, i.e. one applicable to any font
that \setromanfont takes.
Just in case you think this is a duplicate: The answer to the question How to set font size at exactly 11 pt? is not applicable to XeLaTeX.

It's just simple math: 72,27/72*11/10,95 = 1.00833333 – Benjamin Feb 25 '16 at 20:32proposalsinceproposalitself callsarticle, so it is exactly your problem. Try the scaling factor at the end of http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/167404/36296, which also Benjamin stated in his comment. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 25 '16 at 20:45
