Description
Take this ksy for example:
```yaml
meta:
id: test
seq:
- id: test
type: test
types:
test:
seq:
- id: t
type: u1
```
The parsed output table only contains columns 1 and 2, not the third 'value' column.
Modifying the ksy by adding a field which uses a builtin type at the start of the sequence fixes the issue
```yaml
meta:
id: test
seq:
- id: test1
type: u1
- id: test
type: test
types:
test:
seq:
- id: t
type: u1
```

Research direction
Reproduce the missing-column behavior with the first KSY example, then compare it with the modified example that includes a builtin field. Trace the parsed output table entry point and determine why the value column is omitted; done means both examples display columns 1, 2, and value.
