This is a bug, and you need to talk with your dba to make a SR as paxdiablo said.

If you are pressed for time, you can manually do what does

ALTER TABLE testTable ADD column1 NUMBER(1) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

1. Add the column as null:

   ALTER TABLE testTable ADD column1 NUMBER(1);
   

2. Update values:

   update testTable set column1 = 0;
   

3. Alter table not null(between precedent and this, you must be sure that nobody inserts in the table):

   ALTER TABLE testTable MODIFY(column1  NOT NULL)
