Ok.  I've now turned TeX-auto-add-type into a macro and it seems to
work.  And it also uncovered a bug where the lambda added to
TeX-remove-style-hook contained (setq "[La]TeX-<type>-list" nil), i.e.,
there's a string rather a symbol.

I'll have to do some more testing before merging my local branch into
master and pushing, though.

Ok, thanks.
