Thanks for re-testing.

However, my analysis of this bug is different: unlike with the
original report, typing "C-x -" when linum-mode is enabled does now
recompute and update the width of the margin (and not surprisingly so:
linum.el now uses pixel dimensions and converts them to character
cells using the current canonical character width, which does account
for rescaling).  Evaluating

  (text-scale-increase 3)

when linum-mode is enabled also does TRT.  The only thing that fails
to adjust the margin is the above snippet, but I submit that it's the
problem of the snippet, since window margins are never changed by the
display engine on its own, they were always controlled by Lisp
applications.

So I think we can safely close this bug as done.

Thanks.
