Org-mode used line-profix properties to add indentation, and
linum mode uses before-string properties of overlays to add
line numbers.  Both these features add text at display time,
but apparently not in an entirely predictable way.  I have no
idea it it is possible to make both work without any gliches.
If anything, this would be a bug report to Emacs, I think.

The "other issue" is an artefact of Org using an idle time
to update indentation properties.  Here my suggestion
would be to ignore the issue and live with it.
