Well, it changes the size of the buffer text *and* the margin text...

That would not work for several buffers.

For specific uses of linum, you can use `linum-format' and
`linum-before-numbering-hook' to set a face of right size, or any
other workaround.

But the issue will still be present for any package that puts
information into the window margin, so it is not linum-mode specific.

That's the real problem, IMO.
