THis is not what I mean.

What I mean is that you can turn off org-indent-mode just while you
use column view.  Basically, define yourself a function key to toggle
org-indent-mode, and turn it off before entering column view,
and on afterwards.  Very likely, the fix for this issue will eventually
do this automatically, but it is not trivial to do this and make sure
that everything else will still work correctly.  Will be a while
before I get to this.

I hope that Dan Davison will find time to look into this question.
