Hm, Mosè added this just recently in commit
2ebedb8cdc94cca0b941a6173c9825d2a1bfe465.

Also have a look at:

,----[ (info "(auctex)Processor Options") ]

|      variables of the source file:
|           %%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-shell-escape"

Normally it should just work as before...

Hm, do you fiddle with `TeX-expand-list'?  It should have an expander
entry for "%(extraopts)".  If it hasn't, then that's the problem.
