| add-hook is a compiled Lisp function in `subr'.
| (add-hook HOOK FUNCTION &optional APPEND LOCAL)
| 
| Add to the value of HOOK the function FUNCTION.
| FUNCTION is not added if already present.
| FUNCTION is added (if necessary) at the beginning of the hook list
| unless the optional argument APPEND is non-nil, in which case
| FUNCTION is added at the end.

What I sent will add the force-mode-line-update to the beginning of
the post-command-hook.  Since the line number update is happening as
part of some less-transparent method (the same method which updates
the zero-indexed column number that you don't like from
column-number-mode), I don't know how to hook in before it.
