Font size defaults to 1px in Essential Graphics (AE mogrt > PrPro) 2020

I hope this isn't a newbie oversight, but I created a simple lower third in After Effects and exported an mogrt allowing source text editing and font size adjustment. When I use this mogrt in Premiere Pro, the font sizes for both text layers default to 1 pixel (which is, for all practical purposes, invisible). Should these assume the size at which they were exported? If not, is there a way to set a default?

Expoting from After Effects:

Editing in Premiere Pro:

As a side note, I've had some success adding a slider and whipping it to the scale of the text, but this seems like a roundabout solution given that the font size adjustment is just a checkbox away in the text properties. Also, from a cat-herding—I mean, production—standpoint, it's easier to get people to think in terms of "52 pixels" rather than "108% of 48 pixels."

Thanks for any help.
