Does that count as a loss, a win, or a draw?

It counts as a bug in the program, IMO.

not so, the rules say you can't deal on empty columns, ergo you have to
avoid that situation.

Thobut:
- if that was intentional, the game should have stopped there;
- if it was not meant to be that way, the game should continue.

The game neither ends nor allows you to play on. This situation was
clearly not considered while writing the program. That's a bug.
