I just tried this on a fresh install of Cygwin on Windows 10 and it
worked fine.
$ vim -N -u NONE
:r!ls -l
13 more lines
:%!column -t
14 lines filtered
:echo v:shell_error

I assumed that the asterisks in your example command were some sort
of formatting artifact.
In the shell I ran "cygcheck -cd" and found the following versions:
cygwin 3.1.7-1
vim 8.2.0486-1
vim-common 8.2.0486-1
vim-doc 8.2.0486-1
vim-minimal 8.2.0486-1
util-linux 2.33.1-2
bash 4.4.12-3
Util-linux is the package containing column.
So I don't see a bug at all.
Regards,
Gary
