I think this is the expected behavior. The same thing happens with IPv4.
rhaas=# select abbrev('216.83.114.0/24'::cidr);
abbrev
---------------
216.83.114/24
(1 row)
It's also documented this way in the fine manual.

You can get the behavior you want by casting your cidr to an inet
before applying abbrev.
