Same here. I just tried to hide the leading stars in column view by
shifting the beginning of the overlay to the right in
`org-columns-new-overlay' with

    (let ((ov (make-overlay
               (if org-hide-leading-stars (+ beg (org-current-level) -1) beg)
               end)))

but this trial seems to have several issues and I don't know how to do
it right.
