I think you are missing my point. Regardless of how wide the window or columns can open the minimum width of the column should never allow the checkbox control to partially disappear. It looks hokey to me and unfinished. This doesn't logically make sense from a UI perspective. If an object that is static such as a radio or checkbox is inside a column then that column's minimum width is limited by the control's it contains. It is different if the column contained only text. Users expect columns to hide text when the width is small.
