OK, this appears to be a result of the new GdaColumn implementation. gda_data_model_describe_column () returns a GdaColumn, but this one should not be freed in the new situation as the warning says in the doco. 

"WARNING: the returned GdaColumn object belongs to the model model and and should not be destroyed."

Good that that warning has been added, saving a lot of time debugging this change.
