I just tested abi 3.0.0. The .bak file remained until abi was closed. It wasn't deleted when the open document was saved. Presumably the .bak file will remain if Abi is closed abnormally.
I then reopened Abi and began typing in an unsaved document. I found a document "untitled1.bak" at home/paul/documents, the same title that was in Abi's Title Bar, which had a "today" timestamp (I'd like to find a way to get more out of Properties. That's one thing I miss from Windows). I then used Task Manager to Kill Abiword, which is an abnormal closure from Abi's perspective. Then I right-clicked untitled1.bak and selected Open With... Abi, and it was the document that had been lost.
