It seems to be a feature of the report class. You can fake it by including \thispagestyle{plain} in your abstract and \stepcounter{page} right above \tableofcontents.

By the way, I had to make several changes to your document just to get it to compile, including moving the \addtocontents lines to outside the abstract environment. I also had to comment out \usepackage{Utopia}. It could actually be working on your system; make sure to view the output in full and ensure it's error-free before you assume something is not working properly with the class.
