My theory is that the designers forgot to change the description for Abundant Step to allow a standard attack :P
As-is, it's still a solid escape tool though.
In 3.5 from the Complete Warrior there was a tactical feat - Sun School, which allowed the monk to make a single attack at his highest bonus (ie a Standard Action) after an Abundant Step. From what I have seen, much of the changes to Pathfinder have been to include much of the extra material from 3.5 that was in the additional books straight into the base classes. This seems to be precisely that, and it seems reasonable by intent that the goal of this change was to allow for a standard action after the ddoor. However, I too would want to see a more official post on this.
