This is probably a bug. Here is a work-around:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BIND: org-export-latex-image-default-option ""

* foo

This is an inline image: [[./scomp3.png]]. It should not be scaled.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
