It basically looks good to me.

The above new function can serve for minipage environment, so I think
its name should be something more general. Maybe TeX-arg-tbcs ?
(Hmm, current LaTeX-env-minipage only asks one optional argument, but
minipage environment acutually accepts three optional arguments just
like \parbox. We can fully support them with your new function.)

Fine with me.

BTW, I noticed that doc strings of TeX-arg-{lr,tb} is queer.
  "Prompt for a LaTeX side with completion.
                ^^^^^^^^^^???
I guess these are leftovers of incomplete revising of the doc string of
TeX-arg-corner:
  "Prompt for a LaTeX side or corner position with completion.
