I just upgraded a test site to 4.2.6 (from 4.1.x) and I'm noticing that now the default_fee_id and default_discount_fee_id fields are not being populated in the civicrm_event table when I configure those two things through the UI for a new event.

I think I just replicated this (mis)behaviour on http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/ by creating a new event, configuring a default fee and a default discount fee, and then trying to 'get' the event details via the API explorer. According the the API docs, a 'get' should return those two fields, but in this case nothing was returned. This matches my experience here on my dev, where those fields remain NULL for new events.

What's strange is that when I return to edit the event fees via the UI, the correct fees are there, and still marked as default. And if I configure an online payment page, the correct discount fee is shown. Unfortunately, this isn't good enough, since I have custom code that implements hook_civicrm_pre() and uses the API to get the default fee and default discount fee, if set. Since this isn't set (according to the API results), that test loop fails and I get the wrong behaviour.

So: is this a bug? or has the API (and, I assume, the schema) changed?
