I think the way I got around it was to always precomp my characters first.
I would have two comp windows open. The main scene and the character
precomp. Then animate the character precomp and the main scene would
update.  Took some effort to line things up when they pick stuff up or
interact, but I was able to move and scale my character however I needed to
in my main scenes.

Also, maybe try adding a null and attaching the main root controller null
to it and scaling that down?

Haven't used it in a while, but if you scale the extra null that one guy's
tutorial on Vimeo has you make (which gets placed at the feet of the
skeleton) you might be able to just scale that?
