Property inheritance does not seem to work when running C-c C-x C-c
(org-columns).

Reproduction recipe:

1. Start emacs with "emacs -Q"

2. Evaluate the following to enable property inheritance, and to define
custom columns that include the value of the "PROJECT" property.

  (setq org-columns-default-format
        "%CATEGORY %15PROJECT(Project) %55ITEM(Task)")

  (setq org-use-property-inheritance t)

3. Load the following in to an org-mode buffer.

* TODO Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: Cat. Name
  :PROJECT: Proj. Name
  :END:

** TODO A subtask
   This is a subtask

** TODO Another subtask
   This is another subtask


4. Run C-c C-x C-c in the buffer to enable org-columns.


Expected result:

A buffer that looks something like:

CATEGORY  | Project          | Task
Cat. Name | Proj. Name       | * TODO Test
Cat. Name | Proj. Name       | ** TODO A subtask
Cat. Name | Proj. Name       | ** TODO Another subtask


Actual result:

A buffer where the "PROJECT" property has not been inherited, and looks
like this:

CATEGORY  | Project          | Task
Cat. Name | Proj. Name       | * TODO Test
Cat. Name |                  | ** TODO A subtask
Cat. Name |                  | ** TODO Another subtask


Inspecting the value of the variable org-columns-default-format with
M-x show-variable tells me:

org-columns-default-format's value is
"%CATEGORY %15PROJECT(Project) %55ITEM(Task)"
Original value was
"%25ITEM %TODO %3PRIORITY %TAGS"


I can also reproduce this on org-mode from the Git repository
(reproduced with 1a7364177046...) and it's also noted on
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7335.
