Yes, indeed.  `TeX-active-master-with-quotes' expects that its value is
actually inserted into the expansion and thusly it increase
`TeX-expand-pos' accordingly.  Therefore, matching continues further
behind so that %(outdir) doesn't get expanded.  AFAICS, the docstring of
`TeX-active-master-with-quotes' is pretty clear about that.

In your example config, you call `TeX-active-master-with-quotes' for no
reason.  Why do you do that?
