No, I haven't.  But I suspect that in previous AUCTeX versions the path
separator was autodetected by explicitly calling kpse executables (which
is what I coded) and it has been replaced by some other code.

We had some iterations of that already if I remember correctly.  The
problem addressed by the original code was that even on Windows, various
search path separators are in use depending on the TeX system in use and
its runtime environment, and they may even differ between command line
and configuration file.
