I installed this in abbrevs.texi:

*** 258,263 ****
--- 258,265 ----
    Some abbrevs are marked with @samp{(sys)}.  These ``system'' abbrevs
  (@pxref{Abbrevs,,, elisp, The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}) are
  pre-defined by various modes, and are not saved to your abbrev file.
+ To disable a ``system'' abbrev, define an abbrev of the same name that
+ expands to itself, and save it to your abbrev file.
  
  @findex edit-abbrevs
  @kindex C-c C-c @r{(Edit Abbrevs)}
