That is a CVS merge conflict.  You likely changed something in the
file and did an unsuccessful merge.

Nope, it's a fresh CVS checkout. I get the same error message if I use the 11.83 release zip, so I think this can be ruled out.

Not particularly consistent about your uppercase/lowercase.

Bad habit.  Too much exposure to Windows makes you sloppy about this.

But at least it seems like the mixup only occurs consistently with
binary names.

c:/down/tex/auctex-cvs/auctex/auto-loads.el and
c:/down/TeX/auctex-cvs/auctex/auto-loads.el are the same file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This error message sounds like Windows' notion of the name of the
current directory differs from Emacs' notion with regard to spelling.
Probably not fatal, but I have never seen that before.

I just renamed the directories in question to lowercase throughout, removed and updated the offending file from CVS and invoked configure again with consistent upper/lowercase. The message about the different spellings is gone, but I still get the error on tex-info.el. The file does not contain ">>>>>>>" at all; in fact 'grep -R ">>>" *' in the distribution directory only returns a couple of XPM files.
