Interesting. The correct thing would be something like
0,0-1 All
Your vim is displaying the wrong thing... In particular, the 0 that's
at the end of your line should really be in the beginning. This makes
me think that vim has the wrong number of columns - *and* that your
terminal is of the autowrap kind, and automatically scrolls down a
line whenever something is written to the last column of the line.

because the ruler is redrawn, causing something to be written in the
last column of the line, causing the terminal to scroll down.

How about this - do you see similar problems in other terminal
emulators? Say, xterm? tty1? Does the same thing happen if you
launch
vim -u NONE -N
Likewise, does it still happen if you launch as
vim -u NORC -N
What does this print out in a shell?
echo $LINES $COLUMNS
Does the output of the above correctly match up with the output of the below?
vim -c 'set lines?' -c 'set columns?'
Are you running inside gnu screen? If so, try running outside of it.
Then report back with your findings, and we should be able to track
down exactly what's going wrong.
