Oooh, good catch, but 7.4 seems to notice the overflow all right:
regression=# create temp table foo(f1 int default -2147483684::bigint);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo default values;
ERROR: integer out of range
regression=# select version();
version

PostgreSQL 7.4.17 on hppa-hp-hpux10.20, compiled by GCC 2.95.3
(1 row)
So I think we can conclude that the OP never actually uses this default.
