Title: Fix for regression in pyfits on column format support

@justincely pointed this out to me this morning in the latest PyFITS build (or possibly Astropy--either way). It fixes support for a use case that may be in common use, but that was not covered by any tests. While I consider the use case questionable it's not something I intended to break support for at this time.
