With a fresh emacs running AUCTeX 11.88.3 with no configurations, the
paragraph above is filled to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Without the separation axiom this does not work, for example let $V$ be an
infinite dimensional Banach space and let $X = V\cup\{*\}$, and let's declare
open the standard open $U\subset V$ as well as $X$ itself. This defines a
topology. The space is globally compact in the sense of coverings, but it is
not locally compact. Fortunately, it is not separated.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

here when fill-column is 78.  That looks correct to me.  So maybe
something in your configs causes the bad filling.

Bye,
Tassilo
