I did the exact same thing on a recently-upgraded Jessie installation and got the exact same results. I agree that there should be some kind of timeout like the one for changing display resolution, and for the same reason: unwittingly changing the setting to something inappropriate can make it very difficult to change it back to something sane.

For anyone else who ends up in this situation, I bet there's a gsettings command that could be run via a virtual terminal, but I don't know the schema or key. Something like:
DISPLAY=':0.0' gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor

but replace "org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor" with the right schema and key (because I'm pretty sure that isn't it, although it may look like it). Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can elaborate (or fix the bug)...

Thanks,
Alex Robbins
