I'm not sure margins should be auto-adjusted at all. Whatever application sets up those margins, they most probably need all that space, and Emacs should not second guess such applications. For example, linum-mode sets the margin just wide enough to display the longest line number; make the margin smaller, and the numbers will be truncated. That's a bug in my book.
