Sorry, Uwe > :-) Sigh. In a nutshell and still as the responsible, official Xemacs auctex package manager, I would say: please consider a solution such that (if (featurep 'xemacs) dont-implement-that-feature) But don't make auctex incompatible with Xemacs in the sense that it cannot anymore byte compiled. Outside that nutshell this calls for a rant. But I feel to tired (and I am too busy) for that.
