I disagree that default values are only used in forms. Look at this
part of the error message:
INSERT INTO "auth_user"
("username","first_name","last_name","email","password","is_staff","is_active","is_superuser","last_login","date_joined")
VALUES ('foo','','','','bar',False,True,False,2006-11-16,2006-11-16)
The default values are being filled in for every field, required or not.
