This must be a bug with the CommonTasksSectionRenderer.
I believe the number of common tasks in your third group must be greater
than the total number of columns which is causing the problem.
In CommonTasksSectionRenderer.java,
418 // For the case when number of common tasks groups is
lesser than
419 // or equal to the number of columns, just renderer each
task group
420 // in each column.
421
422 if (cts.getCommonTaskCount() <= numColumns && count > 0) {
Please file a bug.
Thanks
