You might try

But if the word before the cursor is not a abbreviation, it
will insert a literal ^], which is not an ideal solution.

This is strange.  I performed the following:

1) put the following 2 lines in temp/c.vim
"""
iab aa American Airlines
inoremap <cr> <c-]><c-g>u<cr>
"""

2) started vim with "vi -u NONE"

3) issued ":so temp/c.vim" to load the two lines

4) entered the text "When aa" followed by <cr> followed by "filed for" and hit <cr> again.

It worked as expected (expanding the text on the first line, and not including a literal "^]" in either line). Unfortunately, the "c-g>u" didn't drop an undo point.

When I performed the same steps, but issued a ":set nocp" between steps 2 and 3, it inserted the "^]" in my text. The mere presence of a .vimrc file (even an empty one) triggered 'nocp', causing those to fail. The same happens if I put a literal "^]" in my mapping instead of using "<c-]>" notation.

So I'm suspecting there are two bugs here unless I can be pointed to documentation saying otherwise:

1) when 'nocp' is set, using <c-]> in a mapping doesn't expand abbreviations.

2) when 'cp' is set, i_CTRL-G_u doesn't perform as advertised in the help (the help on i_CTRL-G_u doesn't give any caveat regarding cp/nocp behavior differences)

There might be some side-referenced aspect in ":h cpo-k" and ":h cpo-<", but I would expect that to fail in the opposite direction.
