Not to mention the fact that the Mudokons aren't technically under threat of death. As Abe says in AO he considers it a job (Or did) and it seems that the casualties are generally passed off as bad work conditions. On the scrolling text and certain signs, that is. Most Mudokons probably aren't aware that they could live without being forced to work. So it does seem unlikely that they would in general be pretty tame.
As for them all knowing Abe and going with him in MO, I suppose one could consider their apathy as the source for not attempting to escape on their own. Figures they might just think to wait around until Abe shows up.
