I raised this issue a long time ago.

Unfortunately nobody takes notice.

For the moment you may use the following workaround.

(define-abbrev-table 'TeX-mode-abbrev-table (make-abbrev-table))
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
   (setq abbrev-mode t)
   (setq local-abbrev-table TeX-mode-abbrev-table)))
