Right. But the problem is that this is not specific to
electric-indent-mode: newline calls self-insert-command, which runs
expand-abbrev and (since Emacs24) post-self-insert-hook. Any caller
which only wants a \n and no extra doo-dads should not call `newline'.
electric-indent-mode just makes this problem more apparent.
