I agree with your change, but I wonder if the sentence after this one
doesn't need some work too.  It seems to predate ALTER COLUMN SET DEFAULT.
We could add a mention of that, or just stop trying to describe the
preconditions, and say something like "only columns for which a default
value has been explicitly set will have an entry here".
