The default route is not announced to BGP neighbors, even if it's in the IP routing table and BGP table. This was true in old IOS releases, 12.4 and 12.2SRC announce BGP default route like any other network. To announce a default route to a BGP neighbor, you can configure neighbor default-originate.

Scott, I'm sure the SP guys will jump in at this point but that should be a fairly straight forward setup, where the standby site's PE is configured to crank up the metric for the default route from that location, such as padding ASN or manipulating MED, or any other BGP setting.
