@nthurston did you checked the same for catalog attributes?

[nthurston]

Just checked, this issue does not seem to be present for catalog attributes. Looks to be isolated to customers.

Possibly related to #7753, but i would expect if I set a valid default value for a required attribute it should use the default. E.g. I can create a required 'varchar' attribute with a default and not have it in the customer front-end registration form, which works fine.
