I cannot make hl-line work (I think), because the columns
are using overlays with display properties, and I believe
that this does not merge well with another overlay face.

But what you might want to do is to configure the face
org-column (M-x customize-face RET org-column RET)
and turn on the underline attribute.  Not sure if this helps, though.

That does get a bit noisy for my taste.  Is the "v" key not enough?   
If not maybe I can make this optionally.
