Hi Manuel,

I can confirm the bug you reported.  Indeed, `\begin' and `\end'
accept as valid environment names macros (not your case though) and
macros with arguments, while `LaTeX-modify-environment' searches for
names matching "[a-zA-Z*]".  So, I'm not sure how to fix it: Just add
`TeX-esc' to the regexp?  Or matching everything between the opening
and the closing brace (allowing at least one level of braces)?
Suggestions welcome.

Bye,
Mosè
