At that point, standard relations on abstract base classes will work properly even when more than one child class uses them.

Did you at least feel a little bit guilty inside whilst writing up a proposed solution that involved adding yet more classes? :-) I've fixed this in a reasonably simple fashion (he says hopefully) in [7432]. There's documentation as part of that patch that shows how to use related_name on abstract base classes.
