The default mode of the pin is PullDefault. What PullDefault is, depends on your target. And while this isn't perfect, the problem is that not every target supports each option.

I appreciate the answer. Did I miss this in the docs somewhere or did you dig through deep below the InterruptIn source code to determine this?

The second option. I am quite familiar with the mbed source code, so I just had to double check it. There are some things lacking in the documentation (if the documentation is functional in the first place).
