--- Comment #2 from Mariano <[email protected]> ---
Because it's used to be the meaning of absolute reference: if you copy the
cell, the absolute reference (in this case the "$A" column) must to be
unchanged.
If it was a new feature it was a major change and then, how can we call this
feature? Absolute references that sometimes -exactly when it refers to the
original cell- are relative references? If the user write the "$" it's because
it wants an absolute reference, not a relative.

Please note this: the result it's different if you change the formula. For
example, if I change the B1 cell, so it contains what I want:
  B1: =COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1) [results 1]
and the copy and paste B1 cell to C1, D1, etc., now the result it's the
expected:
  C1: =COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1) [results 2]
  D1: =COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1) [results 3]

It results, that the same formula "=COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1)" paste of different
form if it's copy from A1 cell that it's copy from B1 cell:
. Copy from A1 and paste to C1 results "=COLUMN()-COLUMN($C1)"
. Copy from B1 and paste to C1 results "=COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1)"

It seems more a bug like a new feature.
