Good, then I close this bug.  Although it is really strange that you
could pin this one single commit which seems to have broken things for
you.  The code in question is exactly the same in the ELPA version.

package.el, the Emacs package manager, generates a
<package>-autoloads.el file in case it's not already contained in a
package (which it is not in the case of auctex).  That file contains an
appropriate load-path addition.

Oh, right.  In the case of auctex, the generated autoloads file adds the
latter entry and in tex-site.el there's also code that adds the former
entry.  That shouldn't cause any harm but I should probably change the
code in tex-site.el so that no duplicate entry will be added.

Bye,
Tassilo
