I can't reproduce this.
Please attach a sample table with exactly the colspan and/or rowspan values set
and what cell you are in when you tried to insert the column, and how you did it:
Via the toplevel "Table" menu, or using right-mouse context menu, etc.

1. Move cursor to a11 and select (table)-(select)-(column).
2. Select (edit)-(copy).
3. Move cursor to a31 and selecr (table)-(select)-(column).
4. Selecr (edit)-(pase).

Actual result.
 Nothing was copied.
 No error message was issued.

Expected Results: a11 and a12 are copied to a31 and a32 or left of them or 
output proper error message at least.

That's a better description. We need to be as precise as possible when describing
bugs -- this bug is not about "inserting columns", but about copying and pasting.
We know about those problems. JFrancis and I are working on these issues.

This is dependent on Joe's work with copying, but the solution to letting user
paste cells from the clipboard into a table as a column will be supported via
a "Paste Special" submenu: This will have various choices such as :
Paste as Table
Past as Row(s)
Past as Column(s)
Replace Existing Cells
