Indeed, I wasn't worried about opt.columnnum, which is fine being zero'd out by the memset(). What I was concerned about was opt.color_columnno; the corresponding opt.color_lineno is handled explicitly in init_grep_defaults():

    color_set(opt->color_lineno, "");

I'd expect opt.color_columnno to be treated likewise.
