No, the issue is not the same.  When a window is resized, it is
completely redrawn, and as part of that the line numbers are
recalculated and redisplayed.  That's because line-number display is
an inherent part of redisplay.

So is window-size-change-functions what you need to use to hook into
the size changes?
