I presume you've downloaded the 13.3 tarball, right?  You still have to
install the package once you unpack it.  This is from the INSTALL file
distributed in the tarball:

   The remainder of this section is about installing AUCTeX from a
  release tarball or from a checkout of the AUCTeX repository.

     Installing AUCTeX should be simple: merely ‘./configure’, ‘make’, and
  ‘make install’ for a standard site-wide installation (most other
  installations can be done by specifying a ‘--prefix=...’ option).

OTOH, we recommend to install AUCTeX from ELPA where possible.  Again,
from the README:

  The modern and strongly recommended way of installing AUCTeX is by using
  the Emacs package manager integrated in Emacs 24 and greater (ELPA).
  Simply do ‘M-x list-packages <RET>’, mark the auctex package for
  installation with ‘i’, and hit ‘x’ to execute the installation
  procedure.  That's all.

I don't see a bug here.

Best, Arash
