The pthreads standard specifies that the default behaviour is that new threads should be created with the SCHED_OTHER policy and a priority of 0.

Sorry, I've since found out that this was actually an issue with the man pages (same problem on two different distros). The man pages were still from LinuxThreads, but the NPTL behaviour was different.

Apparently the spec doesn't actually specify the default behaviour, it's implementation dependent.

My mistake.
