You're right, `TeX-arg-ref' should be used here.

Can `reftex-label' query for more than one label?  I had a similar
problem in biblatex: there are macros taking more than one reference,
but this isn't particularly easy to do with RefTeX, so I defined a
hand-made function (`LaTeX-arg-biblatex-cites').

Because there are no verbatim like macros, right?  I think you're right.

While looking to clevere.el, I remembered that in tex-style.el is
defined a custom option, `LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate', that
controls whether a RefTeX reference style (for \ref & friends) should
be automatically enabled.  Maybe you could define a similar option (t
by default) for \cite & friends, to be used for example in biblatex.

Bye,
