A design element using the default does not have one specified.

Yes (or actually, for other design elements to have a time unit/precision
specified, whether it is different from the default or not).

I assume that the intent was to avoid problems caused by forgetting to
specify a time unit/precision on a subset of the design.

There appears to be a hole in this, since I don't think the compilation 
unit is considered a design element, but it can contain tasks that
specify delays or otherwise use time scaling.
