Yes. This modification was intentionally made to provide conformity with
the reference specification of the MPS format given in the IBM OSL
manual. 

Under the heading "BOUNDS Section" and the subheading "Default Bounds,"
the OSL manual says the following:

"For integer variables, the default bounds on columns are 0 and 1."
