It's weird because when you read vulnerability (or at least when I say it) the first phoneme effectively becomes 'vun' - but in the abbreviated form one feels the need to mentally enunciate the 'l'.

I think the dropped l might just be your locale. I certainly pronounce it in the full word.

It's because vul-ner-a-bil-i-ty is being chopped in the middle of a syllable "ner",

"Vulner" is more pleasant than "vuln"
