Hi James,

I tried this patch by cherry picking it on top of 
e8fbed7 (Better error message when creating block diary entry but no mark exists, 2009-11-10)
but it doesn't seem to help.

I created a remember task with no PROPERTY..END drawer and column view
shows the estimated column as 0:00 instead of blank.
