I think this is a UI bug not a backend one. When looking at the results model via d-feet I get this in the Telephony app:

('com.canonical.hud.query1.results', ['v', 's', 'a(ii)', 's', 'a(ii)', 's', 'u', 'b'], [[<<uint64 22>>, <'Compose'>, <@a(ii) []>, <'New Message'>, <@a(ii) []>, <''>, <uint32 10>, <false>], [<<uint64 23>>, <'Add'>, <@a(ii) []>, <'New Contact'>, <@a(ii) []>, <''>, <uint32 10>, <false>]], [uint32 0, 1], [byte 0x00, 0x00], (uint64 66, uint64 68), {'column-names': <@as []>, 'fields': <@a(uss) []>})

Also the number of separators changes based on the number of entries that are available, just the text isn't shown.

After debugging the issue it seems something in dee or below it as become more asynchronous and it happens that sometimes the hud-client gets the name of the dee model to use but the hud-service is still not the leader of that dee model, that causes dee-qt to get confused and think the model has no columns.

mhr3 has suggested the hud-service should wait for "notify::synchronized" on the dee model and then return the name to the hud-client.
