Thanks for your suggestion, I think it is useful. It seems that the
attached patch achieves what you want. Unless someone finds difficulties
with it, I can polish it and commit into the git repo.

Maybe I should modify `TeX-brace-count-line' instead of introducing a
new function `LaTeX-brace-count-line'. Currently I'm not sure which is
better.
