Description

Add this layer: https://issues.qgis.org/attachments/5091/Book1.csv
Right-click on it in the layers list. "Set layer CRS" and "Set project CRS from layer" are available.
Click "layer>properties>general". QGIS will claim that the layer CRS is WGS 84 (or maybe your default CRS), and the "Specify CRS" and "Update Extents" button will be available. But this is a non-spatial table, so it shouldn't have a CRS!

Now, why I noticed this:
If the project CRS is WGS 84, when I add this layer it adds immediately.
If the project CRS is something else like EPSG:2193, when I add this layer it takes a long time, and when I check in the log there is a CRS message: "Transform error caught: forward transform of (0.000000, 0.000000)...". But this is a non-spatial table, so there shouldn't be anything to transform!
