Although there has been no official indication about the Elum Teleporters/Forcefields, it seems to be that they were something that was to be included in Abe's Oddysee and then was changed to the honey.
I have a promotional CD of Abe's Oddysee which is actually the demo. And while the demo itself does not contain Scrabania, the back cover has a picture of the teleporter.
I think that these screens were perhaps used as promotional images for the press and possibly as part of an industry demo.
Abe Babe...
