You are right that this is not optimal behavior. I'm not sure if it's
worth fixing, however. (Introduce a regsequence type to use in place of
regclass?)
There is a big note on the functions-sequence page in the docs covering late binding and text.  A addition like below is an acceptable solution for me:
Additionally, since pg_class contains objects other than sequences it is possible to specify a default that, at runtime, points to a non-sequence object and provokes an error. (i.e., the type of the pointed to pg_class record is not checked during the cast but during function evaluation).
