Mine are scaling fine in 2.7 by using the up and down arrows or typing in a number. I can also scale then with these [-]........

You have to go export instead of save

I have my brushes in Gimp-2.7.3 to resize on scroll up or down.You can do this via Edit/Preferences/Input Controllers
In the right hand menu you will see a entry named main mouse wheel -click and select the little "Configure this selected controller" icon next to the two arrow icons at the bottom.
Now a dialog will pop up to edit the command for certain mouse controls.

Once you get here click any event and action and click edit.
Another dialog will open to select an event just select the one you want to have (increase or decrease brush size), and click ok.

CLOSE all the dialogs and re-open them to do the decrease for scroll down (assuming the first one you did was scroll up).This allows Gimp to set the event.
