The problem is in mailabbrev.el, in sendmail-pre-abbrev-expand-hook,
where it does:
;; If the character just typed was non-alpha-symbol-syntax,
;; then don't expand the abbrev now (that is, don't expand
;; when the user types -.) Check the character's syntax in
;; the usual syntax table.
(or (and (integerp last-command-char)
(or (eq (char-syntax last-command-char) ?_)
;; Don't expand on @.
(memq last-command-char '(?@ ?. ?% ?! ?_ ?-))))
the code looks at last-command-char, trying to understand what is the
user doing. But when I use ESC >, last-command-char is 62, whose syntax
is ?_, and so the expansion code is skipped. Apparently, testing
last-command-char is not the right way to do this check.
