Thanks! Shows that the behaviour is as intended, and even documented. I have found the quotation in the documentation in the source. Also, the xfig online documentation, http://mcj.sourceforge.net/frm_miscellaneous.html, and the html documentation installed lack this paragraph. There, I found the 1200 dpi, hence why I did not find it before. I read that xfig writes 1200 dpi only. Tinkering around showed that it respects the resolution while reading :-) Using the format, I found a work-around to convert...

1200 dpi != 450 dots per cm
