Don't know if you found a solution to this but here's mine: In my 
database definition I make the default value a '-' (or some other 
non-meaningful value) for a varchar field, or 0 for an int field. My 
migration to modify existing columns looks like this:

<code>
class ChangeDefaults < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    change_column :nodes, :sysName,    :string, :null => false, :default 
=> '-'
    change_column :nodes, :ip,         :string, :null => false, :default 
=> '-'
    change_column :ports, :vlan,   :integer, :null => false, :default => 
0
  end
end
</code>

With this you don't need to modify any plugin code.

Hope this helps.
