When you disable a field in HTML, the browser does not submit a value for it. However, SQLFORM is still expecting a value (it doesn't know you disabled the field, so doesn't treat it as a readonly field). You could add the field's default value to request.post_vars before form processing, or you could write a custom validator for the field that automatically replaces the submitted value with the field's default in case the submitted value is None.
