I might be misunderstanding the question, but it's pretty common for an OSPF router in area 0 to originate a default. If you have a stub area defined, you could configure the ABR with "default-information originate" and it will gen the type 3 LSA into the stub only if it sees a default. Testing confirms this.
Now, if two routers are in area 0, and one is configured with "default-information originate always" and the other is configured with "default-information originate", the second will have an E2 0/0 route in it's lsdb and table, but will not generate a 0/0 default itself.
