Thanks for the patch.

Based on the description, it wasn't clear to me what problem this is
addressing.  Using the maint branch and no custom configuration, I
visited a file with this content:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* TODO a
* DONE b
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In that buffer, org-done-keywords was ("DONE"), and

    (org-get-todo-face "DONE")

returned org-done.  Calling org-columns fontified DONE as expected.

Using your patch, DONE was instead incorrectly fontified with org-todo
because org-done-keywords-for-agenda was nil.  So, in this context, it
seems like your patch is introducing the problem it claims to be
solving.

Based on org-done-keywords-*for-agenda* being used, I then guessed this
had to do with column view in the agenda.  And indeed if I call
org-agenda-columns in an agenda view that contains "DONE b", it's
fontified incorrectly.

To fix the fontification in agenda buffers while not interfering with it
in Org buffers, perhaps the let-binding of org-done-keywords to
org-done-keywords-for-agenda should be moved to the org-agenda-columns
command.  What do you think?
