I don't think so, the arrow is behaving just the way it should.
E.g. try setting it in some Elisp file with outline-minor-mode enabled.
If you fold the section the arrow marker is placed within, it disappears
from the fringe.  It could be argued that this shouldn't be the case,
but I think that for rcirc what we actually want is to ensure that the
marker is always placed so that it isn't affected by rcirc-omit-mode.
