Here is something that might help track it down.
Yes, setting save-abbrevs nil eliminates the problem. However, here is
something more interesting.
Make .emacs like this:
(quietly-read-abbrev-file "bbb")
NOTE: it must be .emacs! If you put the same thing in file foo and start
emacs -q -l foo
the bug won't show up!
Now, put this in bbb:
(define-abbrev-table 'lisp-mode-abbrev-table
'( ("sss" "(sit-for 2)" nil 0) ))
(probably doesn't matter what you put there but the list of abbrevs must
not be empty)
Again, it must be lisp-mode-abbrev-table. It is possible that some other
tables trigger the bug, but things like global-abbrevs-table,
html-abbrevs..., etc. don't cut it.
Now start emacs as
emacs foobar
modify foobar and then do
M-x save-some-buffers
It'll offer to save foobar and then .abbrev-defs.

According to the changelog, I changed ediff or viper on
July 21 and then Sept 9,13,27 Oct 12
So, I definitely updated my cvs copy on those dates.
The bug must have been introduced some time between Jul 21 and Oct 12.
