The relevant regexp is at line 1507 of tex-buf.el:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=auctex.git;a=blob;f=tex-buf.el;h=f458651c2cffc110ef4af4541c6b08af976907fb;hb=HEAD#l1507
Perhaps ".*" is too greedy, anyway that regexp should match anything
that is a legal path.  I don't expect it to be supereasy to find a
regexp matching a path but not a whole sentence ;-)

Bye,
Mosè
