Can you give me an example of where a wizard-generated app uses
'ShowColumnLabels'? I just ran the wizard, and can't find anywhere in the code
that the word exists

I agree that the tools should not create code that will become useless,
but I also think that you're overstating the problem. The name of a property
has been changed; the property works exactly the same as it always has. Every
editor has a Find/Replace function; if you're using vim, typing:
:%s/ShowColumnLabels/ShowHeaders/g
will completely update your code to use the new name.
It's really kind of funny that you recently noticed an inconsistency in
the hotkeys for running code. The reason for the name change was that the
property was originally named to be consistent with the corresponding row-level
property ('ShowRowLabels'). However, given that there are so many other
properties that deal with grid headers/column-labels, and they all refer to
those things as 'Headers' ('HeaderBackColor', 'HeaderFont', 'HeaderFontBold',
'HeaderFontDescription', 'HeaderFontFace', 'HeaderFontInfo',
'HeaderFontItalic', 'HeaderFontSize', 'HeaderFontUnderline', 'HeaderForeColor',
'HeaderHeight', 'HeaderHorizontalAlignment', 'HeaderVerticalAlignment'), it was
felt that 'ShowHeaders' was more consistent.
