Oh, yeah, that function must be buggy.  Here's a text snippet I used for
testing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
As discussed in the previous section, a concrete transformation extends the
\textsf{Transformation} class, and inside its
\lstinline{transform()} method, it instantiates and executes the elementary 
operations provided by the

 the transformation operations describing the
behavior are used inside the \textsf{transform()} method, which has to be
overridden.  The template for the \textsf{FamilyGraph2Genealogy} transformation
is depicted in listing \ref{lst:transform-template}.

\begin{lstlisting}[language=Java, caption={Template for the
    \textsf{FamilyGraph2Genealogy} transformation},
  label={lst:transform-template}, float={h!}]
  public class FamilyGraph2Genealogy extends Transformation {
    public FamilyGraph2Genealogy(Context context) { super(context); }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I set point to column zero of the third line (before
\lstinline{transform()}) and then do

  M-: (goto-char (TeX-find-macro-end-helper (point)))

point is moved to the closing brace finishing the lstlisting's caption.
That's what `TeX-find-closing-brace' (or indirectly
`TeX-find-balanced-brace') returns.  When I do that in this message
buffer, it works just fine...

I have no clue how those functions work...
