System Information
Windows 7 x64 Nividia GeForce GTX 660 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.71 9337574
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Imperial units not behaving as in older versions.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

When using scene scale set to .3048 and moving a face of the default cube, it moves the face .305" and not 1'. In older versions the face would be moved 1'-0".

I do not really understand your issue, please be more precise about what you do, what you expect and what you get - and please always attach a .blend file to reproduce the issue.

No need for a .blend file...use default cube.

In Blender 2.71, open a default scene, select imperial units and degrees. Set scene scale to .3048, this is the conversion factor for imperial units.
The default cube will show the dimensions as 2' x 2 'x 2'.
In edit mode, turn in edge length, grab a face of the default cube and move it in the z axis 1'. You will see that the edge length of the cube does not show 3' but it shows 2.305'. This is incorrect. It should show an edge length of 3'.
Go to Blender 2.68a and do these same steps and you will see the cube show 3' as it should.

I hope this helps.
