Properties inheriting in org doesn't work

Question

I have this sample org file:

#+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %TODO %5owner %3PRIORITY %TAGS
* test1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :owner:    own1
  :END:
** test2
** test3

I also have in my .emacs file: (setq org-use-property-inheritance (quote ("owner")))

Why the "owner" property is not inherited to headings "test2" and "test3"? In column view the column "owner" is empty for above headings:

I also tried (without success):

For me the property for these subsequent entries is defined as you can verify using C-c / p, but appears not to be picked by the column view, the v command shows a blank on the lower entries. — Andrew Swann, Jan 13 '15 at 16:12
The sparse tree works correctly for me too. Maybe someone knows how to force column view into showing inherited properties. — Kossak, Jan 13 '15 at 18:18

This is fixed in the under-development version of org-mode, per the thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/98091.
