In fact it does work fine, when I test in a new Emacs session
which isn't affected by the bug I mentioned before.

I can't reproduce it either, any more. Sorry about that, the recipe
seemed stable, but it didn't happen when I tried just now in
emacs -Q and no longer happens even with my usual customizations.

If I see it again _and_ find a reliable recipe, I'll get back to you.

I was -- it was from just before your latest commit (committer time 18:43).

`display-line-numbers' was `t', `column-number-mode' was turned on
and every other relevant variable (as far as I know) had its default value.
