I'm not sure I understand what is the problem there. Is it really
a display glitch where the fringe is displayed on top of the margin?
If so, that's just a bug that needs fixing. I.e. please provide
a recipe (I haven't bumped into such a display glitch in my tests
of linum.el).
If it's not a display glitch, can you explain what it is?

While I don't think it's "useful in theory", I do see that it could be
useful in practice to work around problems due to variable-pitch fonts,
for example, where linum.el is not able to correctly compute the actual
width that the text will need.

Why not add linum-margin-padding only at the end, in the call to
set-window-margins?
