CSV column being misinterpreted as 'timestamp' type #149

We have a column of station IDs which consist of a mix of letters and numbers that we are uploading to ckan 2.3.
'1A01C' is being interpreted by messytables as a 'timestamp' type (2016-01-26 - today's date), however another dataset which has IDs of'OWO11' is correctly interpreted as 'text'.

Can a fix be implemented to prevent this?

An example of the problem is here - a CSV file with 'T' values was uploaded.
