I'd continue unless it was something extremely obviously unsafe. I'm not trusting ATC, they weren't part of our abort brief and they could be telling us to abort because our flow time is no longer valid or something dumb like that.
The only legitimate reason to high speed abort for ATC is a runway incursion further downfield, but you better be sure you can stop in time.
