Dear AUCTeX:

I have found the cause of the bug. It was caused by the function 
`TeX-arg-label`.  After I add the following advice, the bug goes away.

(defun lfj-TeX-arg-label (optional &optional prompt definition)
  (TeX-argument-insert
   (TeX-read-label optional prompt definition) optional))
(advice-add 'TeX-arg-label :override 'lfj-TeX-arg-label)

The original function was trying to add `t` as a prefix for 
`TeX-argument-insert`, which results in the aforementioned bug.

Best Regards,

Leei F. Jaw

Thank you. It's definitely wrong to pass `optional' as PREFIX argument
to `TeX-argument-insert'. I'll fix this.

I noticed that `TeX-arg-index' and `TeX-arg-cite' share this bug as
well. Maybe there are still more.

I hope I have fixed all the occurrences of this bug. I'll close this
bug.
