Ah! I seem to understand now: you suggest to render it as the
continuation of titlepage verso, whereas I was trying to do that after
an empty titlepage verso. I put the following into the customization
layer, and get the output I want:

(define (book-titlepage-verso-elements) 
  (list (normalize "abstract")))

(mode book-titlepage-verso-mode
  (element (bookinfo abstract)
    (make display-group
      break-before: 'page
      (make sequence
        ($component-title$)
        (process-children)))))

Thanks much!

With kind regards,
Baurjan.
