WHy should it? The org-info manual states:

,----
| The `:colnames' header argument accepts the values `yes', `no', or
| `nil' for unassigned.  The default value is `nil'.  Note that the
| behavior of the `:colnames' header argument may differ across languages.
`----

It says nothing about accepting any other values.

Unless I am missing something?

Cheers,

Rainer
