In my case this has been working fine for years now.

It used to work for me too, under older version of auctex I had until now (11.14 or so).

and it is the latter variable that seems to  

determine where auctex looks. This is why I was having trouble.

Do you see an entry called "foo" in `TeX-style-path' if you start

Emacs with `emacs -Q', copy the lines

(setq TeX-syle-private '("foo"))

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)

into the *scratch* buffer, type `M-x eval-buffer RET', and load a

LaTeX file?  (In case AUCTeX is not installed in `load-path' you might

have to add a statement for adapting `load-path' in front of the

statements shown above.)

Well, this didn't seem to load anything ... TeX-style-path was undefined. But your question made me realize that I was still loading auctex in my .emacs file the old way, with (load "tex-site") rather than (load "auctex.el"). Once I changed that the problem went away. This seems a bit strange to me, but then I don't really understand what auctex.el is doing anyway. Sorry that I didn't notice this before.
