As of version 2.1.0 of the com.cohga.server.report.birt.map bundle (Weave 2.4.3) a new parameter is available, after a map component is generated, that provides the value of the scale that the map was actually generated at. The parameter will be named scale, if the map doesn't have a name, or <name>.scale if the map does have a name.
The numeric value is directly available as params["scale"] (or params["<name>.scale"]) or a formatted string value available using params["scale"].displayText (or params["<name>.scale"].displayText).
