The "Text to Columns" option crashes Excel 2013/2010 on an attempt to modify a column that contains text and numbers

Steps:

1) Download the "Book12.xlsx" file from here and open it in Excel 2013

2) Select the "A" column

3) Go to "Data" and choose "Text to Columns"

4) Click "Finish"

Excel 2013 will crash. Excel 2010 will crash after the same actions + Undo.

See the http://screencast.com/t/fE7Zq3dyOC0m screencast with these steps and the actual results.
