Ah, yes, you are right. I was confusing with the case generating support
files for such as 'example.dtx', 'example.sty', 'example.drv' and
'example.bib', all in the same directory.

Yes, and that's already implemented. AUCTeX searches support files under
each those "auto/" (and "stlye/") subdirectories and load them if found.

With respect to the main issue of this bug#55511, I think the attached
patch would solve the problem. Could you test it if possible?
