I like to use column view with my org agenda. One of the custom
properties that I like to view is the priority. Here's what I do to make
that happen:
(setq org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%TODO %4PRIORITY(Pri.)
%50ITEM(Task)")
Using Org 8.2 I was able to view the priority in the column
view. However, since I've upgraded to the latest stable version of Org
I now see "B" when the priority is empty.

Thank you for your quick response Nicholas. I read that help page but I still think this may be a bug. In the 8.2 version of Org the Priority column in the column view showed an empty priority if the TODO didn't have a priority. Those TODO's where then *sorted* as if they had the default priority (which in this case would be B). But I don't see why the agenda in column view would show a bogus priority value.
Thanks again!

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.
