[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Unfortunately, no. The issue is consistent, but I had difficulties 
creating a detailed recipe for it.

For me, the issue was limited to flycheck-pos-tip which interacts with 
the windowing system through the pos-tip package. No modification of 
display-line-numbers took place.

I ended up replacing the package with flycheck-popup-tip, which displays 
its information inside an emacs buffer, and the problem disappeared. So 
at a glance the issue seem to be deeper than just being config-related, 
but I am not knowledgeable enough to draw any real conclusions.
