To quote from the Beamer Manual (emphasis added):

12.7 Splitting a Frame into Multiple Columns:

,----
| The *main environment for creating columns* is called columns. Inside
| this environment, you can either place several *column environments*,
| each of which creates a new column, or use the \column command to
| create new columns.
`----

But I think you are referring to BMCOL. This adds the :BEAMER_col:
property, which is converted on export to the column environment with
the given width, i.e. the same as B_column plus the width in
PROPERTIES. As far as I see, it does nothing with the columns
(B_columns) environment - or am I missing something here?

I don't think one can use B_columns without specifying the width
in :PROPERTIES: and nothing stops me to add additional PROPERTIES in the
BMCOL property.
