Actually, I solved my own problem...
When dealing with radio buttons on a non-database block
(for instance a control block perhaps)....
one must make sure the property 'Mapping of Other Values'
contains your default value...
and you must go to that block in your when-new-form-instance trigger.
When there is no database assigned to a block, the radio button
default values don't work until a record is created in that block.
A record gets created automatically when you enter the block,
but because there is no link to a real database table, the
radio button's value is NULL and not the default value.
However, if you make the 'Mapping of Other Values' equal to what
you want as your default value and since NULL is an 'other value'
then your radio button becomes whatever you put in that property
when you start up your form...
Thus getting a default value to work consistently on a radio button
when no database is linked to it's block...
