(define (default-y x) 0)

(define/contract (greater-than-square? x [y (default-y x)])
  (->i ([x real?])
       ([y real?])
       [result boolean?]
       #:post (x y result)
       (equal? result (< (sqr (if (unsupplied-arg? y) (default-y x) y)) x)))
  (> x (sqr y)))

(greater-than-square? 10)

Yes! Your syntax rule says to check the post-condition twice: 

(define-syntax-rule (define/tight (fn args ...)
                      ctc
                      body ...)
  (begin
    (define (fn args ...) (fn/impl args ...))
    (with-contract fn
                   ([fn/impl ctc])
                   ; #:freevar fn ctc ;;;; **** now you see it checked only 
once 
                   (define (fn/impl args ...)
                     body ...))))

Measure with outer contract and remove the inner define/tight. If you wrote 
this algorithm with a loop in Eiffel, instead of a tail-recursive function, you 
wouldn’t check the invariant for every loop iteration either
