emacs -Q
M-x edit-abbrevs

But there doesn't seem to be a way to edit anything. I.e. alphanumeric
keys are undefined.

Ha, deriving an editing mode from special-mode was an interesting choice. :)

This should fix it:

*** lisp/abbrev.el	2014-01-06 23:34:05 +0000
--- lisp/abbrev.el	2014-02-08 01:26:13 +0000

  ;; define-abbrev-table.
! (define-derived-mode edit-abbrevs-mode special-mode "Edit-Abbrevs"
    "Major mode for editing the list of abbrev definitions.")
  
  (provide 'abbrev)
