When two single quotes are inserted in a math formula the syntax coloring does not work properly anymore, by messing up the colors of large areas of text. The problem is not present in AUCTeX 11.90. The problem could be related to https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Known-problems.html I suspect that the are also other text sequences which cause the syntax coloring to behave wrongly, but I have only isolated the cause cited in this bug report.
