--- Comment #3 from Denis Shelomovskij <verylonglogin.reg at gmail.com> ---
This is a documented and intended behavior. According to [1]:
> Functions declared as abstract can still have function bodies. This is so that even though they must be overridden, they can still provide ‘base class functionality.’

It also maches C++ behavior with respect to pure virtual functions.

An enhancement request to change it may be opened but this bug is invalid.
