Works for me. In an i486 mkroot build against stock 6.16 with this patch:

$ root/i486/run-qemu.sh
...
# grep rootfs /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw,size=125728k,nr_inodes=31432 0 0
# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs            125728  764    124964   1% /
dev               125728    0    125728   0% /dev


$ KARGS="rootfsflags=size=1m" root/i486/run-qemu.sh
...
# grep rootfs /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw,size=1024k,nr_inodes=31432 0 0
# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs              1024  764       260  75% /
dev               125728    0    125728   0% /dev
