On Ubuntu that works as expected, with the newest Bazaar sources:

ubuntu% uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux
ubuntu% emacs -Q --eval '(global-linum-mode 1)' --daemon
("emacs" "--eval" "(global-linum-mode 1)")
Starting Emacs daemon.

I'd suggest building directly from sources, or trying an official 23.2 release.
