Thanks to all who responded. As kindly pointed out by S.Marshall,
the problem with my solution was that I had to modify the character class
of "\" to "word constituent" ("w"). (I had tried to set it 
to "symbol constituent", "_", but that didn't work.) Here is what you have
to put in your tex-mode-hook (assuming the tex mode you use has one)
to get the abbrevs:

     
	  (setq LaTeX-abbrev-table (make-abbrev-table))
	  (define-abbrev LaTeX-abbrev-table "\\be" "\\begin" nil)
          ;;; <other abbrevs>
	  (setq abbrev-mode t)
	  (setq local-abbrev-table LaTeX-abbrev-table)
	  (modify-syntax-entry 92 "w")
