Yes, by enclosing no text inside the element.

Yes we should care about that. Humans first - if the abbr title isn't
useful to humans, then it needs to be fixed.
The following we should not do:
<abbr class="duration" title="PT2M23S"></abbr>2:23
But we can do something like this:
<span class="duration" title="PT2M23S"></span>2:23
I don't think that we will find a completely acceptable solution, so
it's a matter of working out what needs are the least important in
