According to Open Road (NRMA) (i think, could have been another mag) a few issues back:

ABS will allow you to maintain control of the steering, which is a good plus.

This control is the cause of most 'ABS' related incidents. A driver see something jump out, jumps on the brakes to stop, and turns hard to miss it. In a non ABS car the hard turn would result in a slight change of direction, as happens when you have no traction. in a car with ABS a hard turn on the steering wheel means a hard turn for the car. Suddenly a car the driver expects to turn slightly is facing tree/ditch/oncoming traffic etc.

Is this the fault of ABS or the driver who doesn't understand it?
