 Please read this post: [http://blog.5ubliminal.com/55 Custom Columns
 Problems in WP] .

 '''manage_posts_custom_column''' is an '''action''' while
 '''manage_users_custom_column''' is a '''filter'''. Custom columns for
 ''Posts & Pages'' are actions but ''Users, Categories and Link
 Categories'' are filters.

 Filters not only cripple coding coherency but will force users to output
 buffer themselves for some complex HTML to show up there.

 If would be great if all custom columns are actions throughout WP.
 For a quick fix using output_buffering check my post referenced above.
