I'm not sure I agree with this, not in this general form.  Modes use
header-line in different ways, and I don't think we can decide for all
of them up front how they should react to line numbers.

While I agree that tabulated-list modes and ruler-mode should indeed
be sensitive to line numbers, because the header-line in those modes
should align with the rest of buffer text, a counter-example is Info
mode, where indenting the header-line will IMO make the display look
uglier, almost buggy.

If people agree that the effect on header-line should be dependent on
the mode, then it follows that the fix should be in the modes, not in
the display engine.  Fixing tabulated-list-mode will fix all of its
descendants; ruler-mode will need a separate fix.  And likewise for
any other mode which reports a similar issue.
