You would think but when I've had the same experience ground has also
assumed I knew to ask tower.


An incorrect assumption.



The instructor is not wrong simply because the controller forgot the
instructions. If this CFI flys out of this airport several times a day
and knows the
procedure, it does not make him wrong simply because ATC forgot to state
the
procedure.


The procedure is to remain on ground control frequency until ready to
request
takeoff clearance. The instructor was wrong because he told the student
something contrary to that procedure.

True the instructor was wrong. I would be wrong too, in fact next time
I'm at ABQ I'll be wrong again because I'll continue to follow the
procedure requested by ATC despite that fact that its wrong. So we
agree, he was wrong, I'm wrong, and he and I will continue to be
wrong.

The procedure is to remain with ground control until ready to request
takeoff clearance unless told otherwise. If ground control instructs
you
to contact tower at an earlier time then it's fine.
