Default constraints replicating when I didn't want them to

Question

Using SQL Server 2008, I used a TSQL script to set up transactional replication, including sp_addarticle. I did not plan to replicate default values, but they replicated anyway. After seeing them on the subscriber, I generated the script for the
publication (using SSMS) to check the @schema_option value. It was 0x000000000803108F.  Notice that 0x800 is not set.  So why are default constraints replicating? That's my question.
As scripted by SSMS, after seeing the defaults show up on the subscriber:
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'DBDistribution-GroupCharlie-Tables', @article = N'DistributionContract', @source_owner = N'dbo'
, @source_object = N'DistributionContract', @type = N'logbased', @description = N'', @creation_script = N'', @pre_creation_cmd = N'truncate'
, @schema_option = 0x000000000803108F
, @identityrangemanagementoption = N'none', @destination_table = N'DistributionContract', @destination_owner = N'dbo'
, @status = 24, @vertical_partition = N'false'
, @ins_cmd = N'CALL [dbo].[sp_MSins_dboDistributionContract]'
, @del_cmd = N'CALL [dbo].[sp_MSdel_dboDistributionContract]'
, @upd_cmd = N'SCALL [dbo].[sp_MSupd_dboDistributionContract]'
GO
Note:  the table did not exist on the subscriber, so applying the snapshot created it.  This query against the subscriber shows that all the publisher's constraints were created about 10 minutes after the table was created.
select t.name, t.create_date, df.name, df.create_date
from sys.default_constraints df
join sys.tables t on df.parent_object_id = t.object_id
where t.name = 'distributioncontract';

If these are unique constraints they will be replicated as part of the indexes - but it does not sound like this is the problem here. Can I see your script of the problem table?
