You forgot one case.

    4. Everybody who does _not_ know that we traditionally did not
       support the form would expect "--abbrev 10" and "-n 4" to work.

I would expect "-n 4" to work, but not "--abbrev 10". But perhaps that
is just me. If that is the expectation, I think the behavior you
outlined is sensible.

FWIW that's exactly the opposite for me. -n4 is easy to type, and I
always do that. Though on a keyboard, ' ' is under the thumb, '=' is
harder to catch, so I tend to prefer when CLIs don't force me to use =.
