A concise solution that I found would work was to define a "shorthand" citation alternative and just print the shorthand with that:

```
% Shorthand citation setup
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:shorthand
   \begingroup
   \def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
   \texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand}
   \endgroup
   \removeunwantedspaces
   \removepunctuation
\stopsetups

...

\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\textcite[alternative=shorthand,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}{\textcite[alternative=listsubcite,lefttext=,righttext=][\currentbtxtag]}}
```

Again, this works, although I'm still not sure why invoking \texdefinition{btx:sbl:inline:shorthand} directly doesn't.
I leave it to Alan to comment on this as he's the bib guru
