Well, I seem to have sussed it. But I find it odd that the contract doesn’t 
appear to apply to the optional value as supplied. For example, the below shows 
a sample of ->*, and an ->i version that shows points up the issue:

#lang racket

(define/contract (foo x #:y y #:z (z 42))
  (->* (integer?
        #:y integer?)
       (#:z integer?)
       list?)
  (list x y z))

(foo 3 #:y 1)

(define/contract (bar x #:y y #:z (z 42))
  (->i ([x integer?]
        #:y (y integer?))
       (#:z (z (x y) (integer-in x y)))
       (result list?))
  (list x y z))

(bar 3 #:y 5)
(bar 3 #:y 5 #:z 4)
