AFAIK the 80kts (or 100kts - depending on type) call serves three purposes:

1. ASI serviceability check.
2. Incapacitation check.
3. End of 'Low Speed Regime'.

In the High Speed Regime (up to V1) an abort should only be carried out for:

1. Engine Fail/Fire (a non-supressed Master Warn)
2. Any event/failure which might make the aircraft unsafe/unable to fly.

Number 2 is a general getout clause...and I think the ASI failure in the High Speed Regime would come under that heading.
