Nope, not really. Unless you are writing a Web Service and using
cfproperty for additional validation of returned component instances,
cfproperty does nothing beyond creating metadata. It has no relation to
instance data and the default= attribute does not have an impact
whatsoever on the values of that instance data.
My advice: don't use cfproperty.

The problem is that your expectations are incorrect.
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="foo" type="numeric"/>
<cfset this.foo = "I am not numeric" />
</cfcomponent>
That's perfectly valid CFML - by design.
