The second version isn't legal, i.e., bibtex itself can't handle it.
Here's what bibtex says on a test document (foo is bib1 in there, bar is
bib2).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Running `BibTeX' on `bar' with ``bibtex bar''
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2013)
The top-level auxiliary file: bar.aux
The style file: alpha.bst
Illegal, another \bibdata command---line 8 of file bar.aux
 : \bibdata
 :         {bib2}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
Database file #1: bib1.bib
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "bib2book"
(There was 1 error message)

TeX Output exited abnormally with code 2 at Tue Oct 29 08:27:50
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So it only uses the first database file, and that's exactly what
`reftex-get-bibfile-list' returns.

Bye,
