After thinking this over, I agree.  If _region_.tex becomes a mapped
window, this is either through a nosy user or because of a bug.  Being
an internal buffer, we should not bother about its user interface
semantics.  Setting TeX-master to t seems like the most natural thing
in this context.

Well, should be just t, I think.  Sorry for not realizing this earlier.
