I see what's happening here - I suspect that your field is set to use
a "text edit" edit widget rather than a "range" widget (check the
layer properties->fields tab). QGIS only uses spin boxes for the edit
widget if it's set to a range widget, otherwise they are just standard
text boxes which don't accept expressions (yet -- I'll try and tackle
that at some stage).
