Description
This was found through gallery's accessibility testing. When size of text is scaled up from settings, some of the controls are truncated because it looks like the now larger text no longer fits in the space allocated. If you leave and re-enter a page, it is fixed. As in XAML, we should be listening for this change and trigger an immediate re-layout to respond to the text size change.
Some examples from RNTester:

Research direction
Start by locating the UISettings TextScaleFactor handling and the existing layout invalidation path in react-native-windows. Reproduce the issue in RNTester by changing the text scale setting while a page is open; done means affected controls re-layout immediately without leaving and re-entering the page.
