{matrix_field offset="2"}
My current {row_count} is 1 but my {absolute_row_count} is actually 3
{/matrix_field}
Thoughts?
Add an {absolute_row_count} variable
Have you considered adding a variable to Matrix similar to EE's absolute_count? I've encountered a few projects where it would come in handy and I've just ended up using PHP to get the job done. Consider someone using the offset parameter but still needing the count of the result rather than the count from the offset.
Thoughts?

{absolute_count} only helps if you’re using pagination (exp:weblog:entries’ offset param won't have any effect, if I remember correctly).
If I add it, it will be along with some sort of {paginate} functionality. -

happy
{absolute_count} could be useful if you where using sort parameters to order your row results, because the row number would change based on the sort: in other words, currently there is no absolute unique identifier for each row.
{matrix orderby="column_x"}
{row_count} = Order relative to defined parameters
{absolute_count} = Order defined in the publish entry form
{/matrix}
I've found the need for this when needing to link to specific rows in a matrix field, thus the row needs a specific ID.
I just realized that what I described isn't what {absolute_count} would be intended to be, but I hope my point is clear. And wouldn't {matrix:total_rows} be similar to what Erik is talking about? -

I suppose now that Matrix does give each row a unique ID in the database, I could add a {row_id} tag and "row_id=" param.

...and those have been added in Matrix 2.0.4.
