Although the position is slightly complicated as its not normally open in any buffer, so the backup would presumably have to be triggered on the source files changing.

I don't understand the question. Are you saying that when you save
your abbrevs, Emacs doesn't create a backup file for abbrev_defs, as
it does for any other file you save?
