New submission from Christof Meerwald:

Attempting to include a MultiLink column (that's not "name") will result in a Traceback or 
incorrect data being exported.

At least this change (which removes a hardcoded "name") should be applied:

To test: run the demo tracker, create an issue, and then attempt a CSV export, including 
the "messages" column.
