Sorry, I don't think I understand the problem.  AFAIU, the default was
taken from the number at point, if any, when the command is invoked.
So I tried this:

  emacs -Q
  Type "2" and then move point back so the cursor is on "2"
  M-g M-g

This prompts in the echo area:

  Goto line (default 2): 

OTOH, if cursor isn't over a number, I get no default at all, even if
I try Emacs versions before that change, like Emacs 23.1 and 23.2 (or
even 22.1).

So it looks like the feature works as expected.  What am I missing?
