For the record, this commit is the culprit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c44569ea2a18099307e0571d523d8637000a153
`LaTeX-arg-siunitx-unit' relies on `completing-read-multiple'
returning also empty strings. This change is not even mentioned in
the Incompatible Lisp Changes section of the NEWS file. For the time
being I don't have a solution, apart from defining
`TeX-completing-read-multiple' as the old version of
`completing-read-multiple', or someone fixing
`completing-read-multiple' upstream, at least making trimming
optional.
Bye,
Mosè
