This is not a bogus priority. For Org, there is no difference between
"no priority" and "default priority". The priority on these headlines is
really "B".
OTOH, I understand that it looks odd to see a priority even though you
added none to the headlines: it makes sense to not display it. OTOH, by
all means, there _is_ an implied property and you're requesting to see
priorities through `org-agenda-overriding-columns-format'. So it makes
sense to display it. Ah well.
I'm not arguing the current state is better than the previous one, but
it is not clear to me that this qualifies as a bug. Anyway, I do not
have any strong opinion on the subject.
I would be curious to hear more feedback about this.
