Got one:

* Table
#+BEGIN: columnview :format "%a %b %c %d %e %f %g %h"
#+END:
** foo
:PROPERTIES:
:a: a
:b: b
:c: c
:d: d
:e: e
:f: f
:g: g
:h: h
:END:


The first call to org-dblock-update adds some spaces and only has one 
empty line of data in the table.

The second call adds more spaces and has two lines of data in the table.

If %h is removed from :format, it works on the first run.

For larger files it's totally unreliable; I'd consider the columnview 
feature as broken.
