Listing columns don't save properly w/ global preferences

[duncanmcclean]

Bug description

I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause yet, but there seems to be a weird issue where the listing columns preference doesn't save correctly when you have it set as a global preference in resources/preferences.yaml.

How to reproduce

1. Create an Orders collection
2. Paste this into the blueprint YAML file:

title: Order
tabs:
  main:
    display: Main
    sections:
      -
        fields:
          -
            handle: title
            field:
              type: text
              required: true
              validate:
                - required
          -
            handle: date
            field:
              type: date
              display: Date
              listable: true
          -
            handle: customer
            field:
              type: users
              display: Customer
              listable: true
          -
            handle: grand_total
            field:
              type: money
              display: 'Grand Total'
              listable: true
          -
            handle: order_status
            field:
              type: text
              display: 'Order Status'
              listable: true
  sidebar:
    display: Sidebar
    sections:
      -
        fields:
          -
            handle: slug
            field:
              type: slug
              localizable: true
              validate: 'max:200'

3. Create an entry and fill the values
4. Create resources/preferences.yaml file:

collections:
  orders:
    columns:
        - date
        - title
        - customer
        - grand_total
        - order_status

5. Visit the orders listing page
6. Click to "Customize columns" and remove "Grand Total" and "Order Status" and click Save.
7. See the columns change
8. Go to another page
9. Go back to the orders listing page
10. See the columns are back again
