Are you sure that FT_NONE is the appropriate field type to be using for 
that?  To quote README.developer, "No field type.  Used for fields that 
aren't given a value, and that can only be tested for presence or 
absence..." - so there wouldn't be anything to be displayed in the 
custom column.  What are the dynamic values you are displaying?
