> Bibtex-mode uses the variable bibtex-autokey-transcriptions to
> define the default values of `bibtex-autokey-name-change-strings'
> and `bibtex-autokey-titleword-change-strings'.  So something like
> eval-after-load will work only if it deals with all three variables.
> Say, you first set bibtex-autokey-transcriptions to its new value;
> then you use this to set `bibtex-autokey-name-change-strings' and
> `bibtex-autokey-titleword-change-strings'.
> 
> It is probably easier to simply set bibtex-autokey-transcriptions in
> your init file to its new value.  Normally, emacs should load
> bibtex-mode later.  Then it will use your value of
> bibtex-autokey-transcriptions to set the values of
> `bibtex-autokey-name-change-strings' and
> `bibtex-autokey-titleword-change-strings'> 

Thank you for the explanation. I'm doing as you say and everything seems to work smoothly. Please feel free to close this bug report.

Cheers,
Luca
