Ok, thanks, now I can reproduce it but can't find the real culprit.
The problem is that after `replace-match' point is left after
"\begin", instead of after "\end{align".  I can't understand what
moves point.  Apparently point is moved after `after-change-functions'
hook is run.  In a LaTeX buffer its value is (auto-capitalize
jit-lock-after-change t), but neither `auto-capitalize' nor
`jit-lock-after-change' moves point.  I really don't know what is
causing point to be moved after the change.

I can't reproduce the bug with other major modes (I tested
fundamental-mode and text-mode).  I can't reproduce it with other
values of `auto-capitalize-predicate' , like both (lambda () t) or
(lambda () nil), so I thought `texmathp' is involved but it doesn't move point.

Here are the smallest recipe to reproduce the bug once auto-capitalize
and AUCTeX have been loaded and the file you provided has been
visited:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(goto-char (point-max))
(re-search-backward "equation")
(replace-match "foo")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As I said, point after `replace-match' isn't where it should be.

Does someone have an idea of what happens after
`after-change-functions' hook is run?  Help is welcome!

Bye,
Mosè

PS: regarding the specific problem you're reporting we can work around
it by wrapping a `save-excursion' around `replace-match', but I'd
prefer to find what really triggers the bug and then decide what to
do.
