And if you start a new instance of Emacs and load the file test.tex,
do you see it in that case?

Perhaps there is an error somewhere else.  If you put the line
(setq debug-on-error t)
as the first line into your .emacs file, start a new Emacs instance
and load the LaTeX file, do you get a backtrace along the way?

I don't recall fixing anything regarding loading problems of
beamer.el, but if you are desperate you could also try upgrading
AUCTeX.  If you don't want to compile it yourself maybe the version
provided by backports.org works for you.  I don't have information
about the Debian (or Ubuntu) versions it is supposed to be compatible
with, though.
