Yes. More precisely, auto fill still works. However, explicit filling
invoked by M-q, C-c C-q C-e etc. is disabled.

I have the same idea. It's confusing and inconvenient for users like us.
However,
1. bug#28405 shows that there does exist users who don't think so and
   prefer filling is disabled inside math environmnets.
2. Filling has already been disabled in "equation", "equation*" and
   "displaymath" environments in AUCTeX. In other words, there is
   inconsistency between those envs and "gather", "multline" envs.

Hence I think we should discuss what to do with users of various ideas.
