I agree, as I later realize that this was in 25.1 too, just that it wasn't
noticeable with nlinum enabled.

I would suggest this:

For a window sharing its left edge with another window, the left side of
the fringe in that edge gets truncated if scroll-bars are disabled. A
workaround is to enable the right-side window-dividers by
doing (window-divider-mode 1), and customizing the divider width
(window-divider-default-right-width) and face (window-divider) as needed.

This image[1] summarizes the problem.

Here is my workaround[2] for reference.
