Thank you for report. It seems that AUCTeX has to be fixed with the
change in texlive.
>> By the way, why does AucTeX use `\input` ?
According to my brief survey, AUCTeX used to call tex binaries in a form
like
latex \nonstopmode\input FILENAME
in its early days. I suppose that the initial reason to use \input is
to run tex in nonstop mode by prefixing \nonstopmode.
At some point in its history, AUCTeX changed to use "-interaction"
option to achieve nonstop mode like this:
latex -interaction=nonstopmode \input FILENAME
Thus I think it is basically unnecessary to adhere using \input and now
we can do just
latex -interaction=nonstopmode FILENAME
instead.
However, there is one exception. Preview-latex calls latex in a form
like
latex
\nonstopmode\nofiles\PassOptionsToPackage{...}\AtBeginDocument{...} \input
FILENAME
, so it seems mandatory to me to use \input in order to insert these
complex stuffs before the document file is actually read by latex.

My current impression is that it would be fine to change
TeX-command-list so that tex command issued explicitly by C-c C-c, C-c
C-r and so becomes like
latex -interaction=nonstopmode FILENAME
while internal call by preview-latex continues to use \input and
incorporate \detokenize like
latex
\nonstopmode\nofiles\PassOptionsToPackage{...}\AtBeginDocument{...} \input
\detokenize{FILENAME}
.
How do others think about this idea?
