The (easy but not relevant) answer is that you should use ``M-m ('' ;)

The mathe parser is indeed not robust when it comes to reading
malformed LaTeX code. The reason is that it has been designed to
re-read what it generated by itself, not to understand any random
sequence of macros...

I agree that it should be more robust however. Alejandro is busy
rewriting math support, but we have not seen the code yet, so I cannot
tell you whether there is hope in this area.
