This is one confusing thread! 
The screen shot where you said the zoomed in image showed a different number of pixels (pixel grid) to the layer style, actually showed 8 pixels, and that was the setting in the Layer Styles panel, so no mystery there.
A ten pixel stroke in a 2000 pixel image, is going to 'appear' smaller than the same stroke in a 1000 pixel image. You'll be aware of that, and pixels is the only available unit for LS Strokes (we can't use percentage, for instance).
Double strokes are all sized from the object boundary, so one stroke would need to be twice the size of the other to show as two equal sized strokes.
So what am I not getting?

Let me try an summarise - for my sanity also
:
Martin appears to be having an issue where the stroke value in pixels that he is setting in the layer styles dialogue does not match the stroke in the on screen image. However we have not yet seen a screenshot showing that issue.
We need Martin to provide a screenshot showing a close up of the image (at say 600% where we can count the pixels) along with the layer panel and layer styles dialogue (as per my previous screenshot where I could not reproduce the issue).
As an aside I did find that when using copy layer styles and pasting into a different size document then the stroke size (in pixels) does change and the change appears to be random rather than scaled. However, even then, the stroke in layer styles does match the stroke on screen.
