Ken,
Yes, but the program does not require you to retain that selection. You can change it to whatever colour space is provided in the drop-down menu. To repeat, the user selects whatever combination of file format and working space those two drop-down menus in the Export dialogue contain, and none of these combinations should be either exalted or clouded with concepts of "default" - it is PURELY user-choice. Now, whether this has anything to do with the appropriate settings for profiling is another question.

There are two colour spaces involved with Lightroom - (1) the working space of the application itself, which is kind of ProPhoto but with gamma of 1.0 (rather than 1.8) in order to match the native 1.0 gamma of raw camera files; this is hardwired; and (2) the choice of working space gamuts for the output image exported from Lightroom - which is where you have the choice of three gamuts as I mentioned before.
Yep, I know.
The only default is the Lightroom internal working space I mentioned as (1) above. For colour spaces (2), there is no "default" regardless of how the application comes packaged.
I can only repeat there is, at least in the German version.
Steps to reproduce (I'm translating from the German GUI, so it's probably not exact):
1) Perform a clean install of Lightroom
2) Launch Lightroom
3) Import at least one RAW image
4) Select the RAW image
5) Choose File > Export...
6) In the panel that appears, you can choose the image format you want to export in the lower third (called something like "File Settings"). If you choose "TIFF" in the Format popup, the Color Space popup below automatically jumps to "AdobeRGB (1998)".
The steps 4-6 are the obvious steps to perform when you want to export an image for the first time.
But again, this is *not* important at all for the issue at hand!
I happen to have a completely fresh install of Lightroom 2 on my system and can confirm what Uli states. When JPEG is the selected file format, sRGB is the automatically selected default colorspace. When TIFF is selected, Adobe RGB (1998) becomes the default colorspace for exporting the image.
