A further clue is that this error doesn't happen in other modes, at
least not some that I use it in.  Perl sh fundamental text.
For example:

Changing this buffer to text mode temporarily and typing:

Abbrev_that `C-x a +' duly prompts me for a string to call 
Abbrev_that with.

Change back to message-mode and:

Abbrev_that `C-x a +' and I get the `No per mode abbrev table' error

Posting this info on emacs-devel shortly.
