Well, you're right, I misused the term a bit. I used 'leaky', because it well describes that abstraction cannot hide implementation details(and in the second example those implementation details are used to achieve new functionality). However, it is because of the user abusing abstraction, not because abstraction is inherently leaky in that regard(and that is the reason the term was coined).
I definitely need a new word for situations like this.
