Did you try with -file-line-error, too?

Ok.

(B.Gaulle) might be one suspect, but it looks rather harmless.

Ouch.  I suppose that this stuff in parens would be the stuff which
causes the problem.

Or that one.

What do people think of the idea to put some sort of syntax
highlighting and/or tooltips on detected file names that declare which
file AUCTeX believes to be in afterwards?

We could also then have a command like C-c = in the run log (at least
when the file has been parsed up to that point) which displays the
current idea of the current file.

It would probably be non-nice to actually insert buffer text, but
maybe at least the bug report command could then unravel that
information and place it in the report?  Like [in ./xxx.tex] after the
"(name " thingy and [in ...] after each ")"?

Anybody think that this might be helpful for either us or users?  Not
really sure.
