Good catch!  But the situation has still improved in this use case.
Formerly, if no context key predicate triggered and no default command
could be found (due to TAB vs. <tab> or other translations), you ended
up with a possibly important command missing, like indenting according
to mode.  The only use case for default-command I can see is triggering
a context key only when the user types a key repeatedly.  And if then
the original command after translation and the guessed default-command
don't match or the latter is nil, you could still look it up manually
and encode it in your predicate.
