You have to get the parsed files associated to the the bibliography
files first (just edit and save them).

I suggest to add
    (mapc 'TeX-run-style-hooks styles)
to the end of `TeX-arg-bibliography' (and something similar to
`LaTeX-arg-addbibresource'), just like style files of LaTeX packages
are run inside `LaTeX-arg-usepackage'.  If there is already the parsed
file associated to the bibliography file, `LaTeX-bibitem-list' will be
immediately filled without the need to revert the document.  And of
course we need to hope that the bibliography file has a different name
from the main document (it's not uncommon to use the same base name),
but this is a restriction intrinsic to AUCTeX, for the moment.

Bye,
