Needless to say that I can't reproduce that.  But does that happen only
with this single document, or can you reproduce it also with some
minimal working example?

Basically, you should be able to use the ELPA AUCTeX without configs
like so:

  1. emacs -Q
  2. M-x package-initialize RET
  3. Find a latex file and do what you wanted to do
