    The test for abbrev-file-name in startup.el can be changed from:
      (if (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name)
    to
      (if (and (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name) (file-readable-p abbrev-file-name))

    But also, should the abbrev file even be loaded when using -batch ? 

I think it should not be.  But maybe we should not risk changing that now.
Let's install your patch instead, and make a note to turn it off
entirely in the -batch case after the release.

Can you install that?
