The source tree of AUCTeX has been changed in 11.89, so in principle
it makes sense that you actually experience the problem with version
11.89 but not 11.88.  What looks strange to me is that the change
actually simplified things moving all files to the same directory.
I'll try to reproduce your issue.

Bye,
Mosè
