If I have a buffer visiting one of my org-contacts files, say contacts.org,
and if I have turned on "column mode" in the buffer visiting
contacts.org via org-columns ("C-x C-x C-c")
then, when trying to tab-complete in a *Message* buffer
To: George <tab>
in the event that George identifies an entry in the file contacts.org, I
get an error report in the minibuffer:
Text is read-only: "Type `e' to edit property"
If I quit column mode in the appropriate buffer, then tab-completion
resumes working correctly.

Unable to reproduce. Maybe M-x toggle-debug-on-error would throw a
backtrace?

Well, I didn't manage to trigger a backtrace. But I did observe the
following:
the error report seems to appear only if
org-contacts-files
contains more than one contact file.
e.g. when this line
,----
| (custom-set-variables
| ...
| '(org-contacts-files (quote
| ("/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts.org"
| "/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts-math.org"
| "/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts-family.org"
| "/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts-friends.org"
| "/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts-tufts.org")))
| ...
| )
`----
appears in custom.el, I see the error, but when it is replaced by
,----
| (custom-set-variables
| ...
| '(org-contacts-files (quote
| ("/home/george/org-files/contacts/contacts.org"))
| ...
| )
`----
I don't.
