I can confirm this behavior on Debian 13 (Trixie) - unstable repository, up to
Plasma 6.3.2!
I have switched the default arrangement of icons from left-to-right to
top-to-bottom to be more like I got used to with Windows and to still have new
icons visible when I have a window tiled on the right half of the screen.
So, even with this non-default arrangement the reorder happens when the scale
is changed.
All the scaling levels were between 100-130.
I agree with OP's both proposals.
1. Take notice of the preferred arrange direction, if it's left to right or top
to bottom, then give numbers to the cell grids and try to put the icons in the
same numbers as before for the new scale.
The only problem I see here is the case when the scale is bigger than the
previous one, which I assume the bigger text (or icons too) will make the cells
bigger, meaning less of them will fit on the horizontal or vertical row of
cells.
In that case, put the last ones that doesn't fit anymore on the row on the new
horizontal or vertical row.
If some icons are not in the first or second horizontal or vertical row
(closest to the top or left edge of the screen), like being in the middle of
the screen, then leave them there if you can, if not add them after the last
ones of the first or second horizontal or vertical row.
Make this the default behavior.
2. Make the per-scale arrangement opt-in as my guess is that few people can
actually fill their heads with a per-scale arrangement.
I think that's a hard one to remember and possibly also time wasting to make so
that's why I think few people would prefer it.
I've been pretty happy with how well the icons stick to their positions
starting with Plasma 6.3.0, except for this scaling thing that is capable of
messing them again.
I also had to test for a bug report if a problem was happening on X session too
and because I was using a 130 scale on Wayland for quite some time, not knowing
that that X was not in sync with that after I entered the X session the icons
were immediately messed up.
Which if I remember correctly they were still messed up when I got back to the
Wayland session after the test I don in X.
So having 2 rows of icons messed up, just because I wanted to help confirm a
bug report by switching the session type was not nice.
And as much as I want to help with all the bug triaging and confirming will
make me reluctant to switch again into the X session to see how the things are
there. I think I tried to manually make the scale there to be 130 too, but
IIRC, it was not possible for some reason.
