Oops. The last line of the docs should be deleted.
Actually, abbreviations-subst-start must be a non-empty @string, not an
@bool. This is the reason you get a warning on startup.
As of rev ad78414, leoSettings.leo now defines:
@string abbreviations-subst-start = {|{
to match:
@string abbreviations-subst-end = }|}
The mismatch in these two settings was very confusing, especially if you
read the erroneous docs carefully ;-)
I copied that whole @data abbreviations-subst-env node into myLeoSettings.

I have no idea what is going on. Your myLeoSettings.leo loads without a
problem for me.

This is the result of
@string abbreviations-subst-start not being set properly.
I still have the feeling that there are additional unknown settings I need

They work for me in your myLeoSettings.leo with
@string abbreviations-subst-start defined as above.
*Summary*
The troubles you had stemmed from problems in leoSettings.leo. Rev ad78414
fixes them. Here is the checkin log:
Fixed two confusing settings/comments related to abbreviations.
1. Corrected the comment in the node @data abbreviations-subst-env
2. The default for @string abbreviations-subst-start is now {|{, which
matches the corresponding }|}
Thanks for your help in improving Leo.
