Meanwhile I had a look and it's due to this part of
org-columns-display-here :
(org-unmodified (insert " "))
(http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/lisp/org-colview.el?h=maint#n247)
Inserting characters in the buffer for the sake of columnview seems
wrong to me. Even more so if this is done silently.
I tried removing the whole (if then) block. That not only helps with the
spurious spaces, but also makes the column view work better in my
original usecase. OTOH I don't know what it will break.
