Faces don't generally scale unless some code makes them scale. Text
scale changes are implemented via face-remapping-alist, but that alist
doesn't get set for every face on Earth, and neither should it be
(because many faces are not supposed to scale automatically). C-x C-=
etc. only affect the 'default' face and the faces that inherit from it.

No, the face of the header line is set in faces.el, and it's called
'header-line'. Note also that tabulated-list-init-header uses the
'fixed-pitch' face for aligning the column headers.

FWIW, I don't think this needs to be "fixed": resizing text of
tabulated display makes very little sense to me. YMMV, of course, but
I personally don't consider this to be a bug.
In any case, to make the header-line scale automatically with the
text, you will have to make its face inherit from 'default'.
Alternatively, you could redefine "C-x C-=" etc. to adjust the scale
of the 'header-line' face, in addition to 'default'. Neither of which
sounds like a good idea for Emacs in general, which is why I don't
think we should fix this in Emacs.
