I tried the above and then `M-x expand-abbrev` and it worked for my test
case, so I guess the problem is in the auto-triggering of abbrevs down
in `self-insert-command`.
And indeed I see:
if (!NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, abbrev_mode))
&& synt != Sword
&& NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, read_only))
&& PT > BEGV
&& (SYNTAX (!NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, enable_multibyte_characters))
? XFIXNAT (Fprevious_char ())
: UNIBYTE_TO_CHAR (XFIXNAT (Fprevious_char ())))
== Sword))
so it looks like the "auto expand abbrev" feature only works right after
a word char, so basically only works for abbrevs whose last char has
word syntax.
You might want to `M-x report-emacs-bug` and request that this
constraint be made more flexible.
