I thought the setting

 '(TeX-view-program-list (quote (("okular" "okular -unique %o#src:%n%b"))))

Does that

For example

okular --unique eulerpoisson.pdf#src:2449"/home/oub/eulerpoisson.tex"
 or 
okular --unique eulerpoisson.pdf#src:29"/home/oub/eulerpoisson.tex"

No, but I think I found the source of the problem.

In the command line I fired up
okular --unique eulerpoisson.pdf#src:2449"/home/oub/eulerpoisson.tex"

Okular opened the pdf file at the first page.

I copied the pdf to eulerpoisson-2015.pdf

I changed the envrionment back to TL logout login

And
okular --unique eulerpoisson-2015.pdf#src:2449"/home/oub/eulerpoisson.tex"

And okular opened at page one.

I recompiled the latex file, with pdflatex TL2009, now 
okular --unique eulerpoisson.pdf#src:2449"/home/oub/eulerpoisson.tex"

 opened correctly the pdf file 

So it seems that okular (at least the version I have) cannot deal
correctly with the pdf generated by TL2015.

So it is not really auctex fault, but I love to hear a work around, I
think I did use evince because there inverse search does not work.
