I don't think it's broken; I think it's just never been implemented.
Hrm. In that case, perhaps I should say "The documentation is broken":
[ http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html#createtable ]
The DEFAULT constraint specifies a default value to use when
doing an INSERT. The value may be NULL, a string constant, a
number, or one of the special case-independant keywords
CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_DATE or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
... best way to substitute for it ...
It's simple to write a trigger to do almost the same thing.

Eyup. I was just hoping to avoid that particular extra jiggery.
cheers!
