Perhaps it makes more sense to put that buffer-live-p check in your
nlinum-mode-hook lambda? Actually I wonder why you need to call
nlinum--flush at all? Though I admit I don't really understand the
nlinum code either, e.g. what is the use of (run-with-timer 0 ...),
why not run the thing immediately?
