I'm not, because of course I have the same (same version of TeX Live)
and forward/inverse search works great for me.  It's known SyncTeX
changed this syntax over time, we have some comments about it in
`TeX-synctex-output-page'.  Maybe your Okular version is so old that
doesn't cater for the change of syntax.  Okular 0.23.2 here.

Anyway, I'm closing this issue, AUCTeX isn't involved at all since you
have the same problem when running Okular from the command line.

Bye,
Mosè
