None, but this is a beta version - and therefore subject to material change.

It doesn't default, it suggests.

I didn't, but you posted a screen shot that indicates I will have the ability to uncheck the option.

You seem to be conflating two issues -- the Column header value of the built-in 'pages' column, and the ability to create a custom column with a Column header value that duplicates a the Column header value of a built-in column.

Please answer my "Why would anyone…?" question

Why?

You and others have have correctly stated that its the value in Lookup name that matters not the value in Column header… in which case why not let the user change them… given they will have the ability to duplicate them.
