That's my mistake. I created the example from a recent drawing. I had edited each viewport from "1 paper unit equals 60 drawing units" to "1 paper units equals 720 drawings units," so that my scales would show up at 1 inch = 60 feet. I simply forgot to change the smaller one back (or delete it) before posting the example. It's also worth noting that, when editing the scales, you have to click on the VP, edit the scale, hit ok, then click on the VP again and reselect the same scale, now that it's been edited. The VP doesn't automatically update after you edit its scale.
From the default list of scales, two of the options are 1" = 1' and 1:1. Toggling between the two does not change anything, so I assumed that the 1:1 scale was the same ratio of 1 inch equals 1 foot, and that the remaining 1:20, 1:60, etc would follow the same ratio / format of x inches = x feet. However, perhaps this is not the case, and the default scales of that nature are indeed unit:unit and not inch:foot, as I assumed, and thereby there is an AutoCAD programming error with 1" = 1' and / or 1:1.
As I described in my initial post (and in the first paragraph above), I had gotten around the issue by editing the scale, but did not want to have to do this for every scale, every drawing, every time. I hoped there was a master setting I could change that would note my scaling issue of a factor of 12 and correct it everywhere going forward.
Hopefully that all made sense, as it may very well be somewhat confusing without actually speaking and simultaneously viewing the same example.
