Yes, and it gets worse. You can get around the 'setq
local-abbrev-table' issue by using the ':parents' property:

    (define-abbrev-table 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table
      '(
        ("asi" "así" nil :count 0))
      "Fundamental"
      :parents (list my-abbrev-table))

    (define-abbrev-table 'my-abbrev-table
      '(
        ("a que" "a qué" nil :count 0))
      "Uwe's table"
      :regexp "\\(\\w+ \\w+\\)")


but write-abbrev-table then produces the following abbrev file:

;;-*-coding: utf-8;-*-
(define-abbrev-table 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table
  '(
    ("asi" "así" nil :count 1)
   ))

(define-abbrev-table 'my-abbrev-table
  '(
    ("a que" "a qué" nil :count 1)
   ))

so write-abbrev-file doesnʼt write any of the properties specified in
define-abbrev-table to the abbrev file.
