Confirmed.
Unimportant.

The internal implementation details of colview demand heading text to
have at least the number of characters equal to the number of fields. If
there are less, spaces are added. But not beyond the necessary number of
spaces.

This is not easy to change.
And I am not sure if it is necessarily a bug, though I can see how it
can be slightly annoying.

If someone reading this is bothered about the current behaviour, feel
free to work on the fix.
