I tested it and could not reproduce. Could you please attach a screenshot? Note that Ruler on the XO shows three scales, one of which is calibrated from the edge of the laptop, not the edge of the screen; perhaps that is what you are referring to?

Looks as expected.

Ok, I did not know that it counts from the edge of the screen. Might be worth making this more visible (maybe a text), at least it was not clear to me.

Maybe something like the following text printed below the ruler:

_('Use this ruler from the outside edge of display.')
