I don't know that this is unique to OOo, since that's the way Excel (2000) works as well. I just tried it to refresh my memory, since I rarely use Excel anymore. However, in Excel, if you try to drag & drop a column, you get a warning about replacing the data in the target column. In Calc, there is no warning. The moved column's data silently replaces the old column's data, leaving a blank column behind.
