Thanks very much! I should have thought of trying with -Q.

With emacs -Q, installation went without a hitch. I didn't dig any
deeper to find which part of my set up was causing the problem.


BTW, http://wikemacs.org/wiki/AUCTeX says:

If you install AUCTeX via ELPA in Emacs 24 the basic setup listed above
is not necessary. AUCTeX just works out of the box (at least on Linux).

But I still needed 

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)

Without these two lines, I simply got the inbuilt(?) latex mode.
