I have added the last clause to the FAQ:

    Finally, you could use the <A href="#4.16"><SMALL>OID</SMALL></A>
    returned from the <SMALL>INSERT</SMALL> statement to look up the
    default value, though this is probably the least portable approach,
    and the oid value will wrap around when it reaches 4 billion.
