Bug: org-columns--compute-spec tries to set CLOCKSUM property [9.4.4 (re

The following MWE illustrates:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %6CLOCKSUM{:}

* Goal 3
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID: goal_3
  :END:

  #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 4 :id goal_3 :maxlevel 3

  #+END

** TODO Task 1
   :LOGBOOK:
   CLOCK: [2020-01-26 18:05]--[2020-01-26 Mon 19:16] =>  1:11
   :END:

   Task body

*** TODO Subtask 1
     :LOGBOOK:
     CLOCK: [2020-01-28 Tue 15:45]--[2020-01-28 Tue 16:45] =>  1:00
     :END:
     
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Starting with `emacs -Q foo.org', place the cursor on the `#+BEGIN:
columnview' line and type `C-c C-c`. That produces a table (although
the entries are wrong):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 4 :id goal_3 :maxlevel 3
  | ITEM      | CLOCKSUM |
  |-----------+----------|
  | Goal 3    |     2:11 |
  |-----------+----------|
  | Task 1    |     2:11 |
  |-----------+----------|
  | Subtask 1 |     1:00 |
  #+END
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But then doing it again fails with the following (elided) backtrace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "The CLOCKSUM property cannot be set with 
‘org-entr...")
  signal(error ("The CLOCKSUM property cannot be set with ‘org-entr..."))

  ...
  org-entry-put(147 "CLOCKSUM" "1:00")
  (progn (org-entry-put (point) property new-value))
  (if (and update value (not (equal value new-value))) (progn (org-entry-put

  (let ((new-value (org-trim summary))) (if (and update value (not (equal value 
new-value))) (progn (org-entry-put (point) property new-value))))

Part of the problem seems to be that `org-get-entry' manufactures
CLOCKSUM properties out of the CLOCK entries above, but
`org-put-entry' knows that that's a special property and refuses to
put it. But I think the major fail is in `org-columns--compute-spec'
which takes the property at face value and just passes it along. I
believe it needs to do whatever accumulation it is supposed to do and
set a text property to store the value in the headline, but that's
guessing on my part.

I saw this on Emacs SE (the above example is a simplified version of
the example in the post):

and it has apparently been reported once before:
