There are several plugins that provide different ways to select a default argument:

modules/node/views_plugin_argument_default_node.inc
modules/taxonomy/views_plugin_argument_default_taxonomy_tid.inc
modules/user/views_plugin_argument_default_current_user.inc
modules/user/views_plugin_argument_default_user.inc
plugins/views_plugin_argument_default.inc
plugins/views_plugin_argument_default_fixed.inc
plugins/views_plugin_argument_default_php.inc
plugins/views_plugin_argument_default_raw.inc

But views_handler_argument_date::default_argument_form() adds its 3 of its own default_argument_type after views_handler_argument::default_argument_form() calls views_fetch_plugin_data('argument default');.

Selecting any of those three ("Current date", "Current node's creation time", "Current node's update time") in the UI works fine, but none of them get exported.

Other than rewriting all of these into plugins, the other option is to adjust the export code to detect these non-plugin options.

This kind of handler is special/hacky so the export method has to be adapted.

It also works on import correctly.
