It's a bug in the design of linum-mode: it puts the overlay that
displays the line numbers on the first character of each line. So
when that first character is not displayed, the overlay is not shown
either.
A possible fix would be to move the overlay to the first visible
character after the horizontal scroll. Patches welcome.
Thanks.
