I think at least the most simple cases should be added. At the very least a
test that would have caught this issue. This is really the first time that
I had to pull a minor release and go back to a previous version. ;-)

As far as I understand, it's as simple as this (untested):

CREATE TABLE tab (
c DECIMAL(5,2) NOT NULL,
CHECK (c >= 0)
);
INSERT INTO tab ('0');

Right?

Or at least:
UPDATE tab SET c='0';
