MySQL doesn't handle ENUM types error

Question

I have this script:

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='STRICT_ALL_TABLES';

SET SQL_MODE = `STRICT_ALL_TABLES`;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `w_bank_account` (
  `account_id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `bank_id` INT(11) NOT NULL,
  `account_number` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
  `account_type` ENUM('1','2') NOT NULL,
  `balance` DECIMAL(19,4) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  `created` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  `modified` TIMESTAMP NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`account_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `fk_w_bank_account_n_bank1`
    FOREIGN KEY (`bank_id`)
    REFERENCES `n_bank` (`id`)
    ON DELETE RESTRICT
    ON UPDATE CASCADE)
ENGINE = InnoDB;

CREATE INDEX `fk_w_bank_account_n_bank1_idx` ON `w_bank_account` (`bank_id` ASC);

I try this two queries:

INSERT INTO `w_bank_account` (`bank_id`, `account_number`, `account_type`, `balance`) VALUES 
(1, '01234567890123456789', '1', 0.0000), 
(1, '01234567890123456789', '6', 0.0000);

And it works but in the second insert it leaves account_type empty (I think this goes to NULL) :-O why if I'm setting SQL_MODE as STRICT_ALL_TABLES? Should not the ENUM field gets the first value instead of leave field NULL? I'm using MySQL 5.5.31 on Debian

If you insert an invalid value into an ENUM (that is, a string not present in the list of permitted values), the empty string is inserted instead as a special error value. This string can be distinguished from a “normal” empty string by the fact that this string has the numeric value 0. More about this later.

you can use this trigger function

     delimiter //
     CREATE TRIGGER upd_check BEFORE UPDATE ON `w_bank_account`
     FOR EACH ROW
     BEGIN
     IF (NEW.`account_type` != '2' AND NEW.`account_type` != '1')
     SET NEW.`account_type` = '1';
     END IF;
     END;//
     delimiter ;
