What you have described is normal for NSSA. For stub and totally stub
areas the normal situation is for the ABR to inject a default route into
the area. For NSSA the default is not inject a default route. This does
make sense since you are redistributing and it is now possible that the
desired default route is out through the ASBR in the NSSA area or might be
through the ABR. If you do want a default route from the ABR you should
be able to use the default-information originate parameter on the area
nssa command.
