Comment (by john_scott):

 The standalone `DROP DEFAULT` comes from
 
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/f633ba778d302c12f4295714a78fa20dff98b39f/django/db/backends/schema.py#L715
 this line] in schema.py. Essentially anything that triggers _alter_field
 will end up passing this test and it will insert the `DROP DEFAULT` into
 the output. Perhaps shaib's comment in comment:18 is the fix for this line
 and that is enough to resolve the only remaining issue in this ticket?
 Unless generating add/drop as in comment:17 when the field was already not
 NULL is also undesirable behavior. Both of these seem harmless for the
 most part, just unexpected behavior that was uncovered while debugging
 something else.
