It didn't look like this in the previous version. Might be considered a 
bit annoying, repeating the number several times.

BTW, by that logic, the last empty line should have a number as well: it 
does correspond to a buffer position.

It does fit the description.

Yes. Although I half expected it to have no effect in this case.

Also true, probably.

(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "popup-test.el")
  (setq display-line-numbers t)
  (insert "aaaaaaa
aaaaaaa
aaaaaaa
aaaaaaa
aaaaaaa
")

  (let ((ov (make-overlay (point-max) (point-max))))
    (overlay-put ov 'after-string "bbbbbb\nbbbbbb\n")
    (overlay-put ov 'display-line-numbers-disable t)))

After that, the buffer popup-test.el shows the "bbbbbb" lines prepended 
with the empty line number columns. I'd rather they weren't there.
