This is true, EclipseLink only has a read-only setting, which both setting map to. If you do not wish to insert the field because you are defaulting in the database, you may wish to look into the ReturningPolicy or instead default the attribute value in Java.
Feel free to log the bug though.

I need a sanity check. I've run into a problem recently on two
different entities where in my @Column annotation insertable=false is
ignored and the column included in an insert statement unless
updateable=false is also included in the annotation.
This is the first time I've tried insertable=false by itself. Am I
missing something here? I create my entity, call persist on it, then
commit. This seems a bit too major of a bug to still be around, so I'm
thinking I must have a misconception somewhere.
Perhaps I have some misconception about these attributes, could but
they seemed pretty straight forward to me. Any ideas before I file a
bug report? (I'm on 1.0 osgi branch)
Thanks,
