I have 2.0 as well, also I checked and Abe does indeed need to pass through the continue check point to be able to respawn there or else the game crashes.
Here's an interesting thing I discovered also: The game keeps track of the last continue checkpoint that you've been through even when you quit to the main menu.
I accidentally started a new game, quit to the main menu and then used level select to get to the stockyards variation. After dying without passing through the continue checkpoint I was respawned at the start of the game.
