Oops, sorry, I think those bugs were my fault, thanks for having
spotted them!

I wonder how many plain TeX users we have (or at least plain TeX users only,
no LaTeX, who care to report bugs): bug fixed with commit

    * 1a5d447 (2013-04-17)  Fix plain TeX abbrev table name.

(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=auctex.git;a=commitdiff;h=1a5d447)
made opening plain TeX files pretty uncomfortable, still was never
reported before the fix, which came 2.5 years after the bug had been
introduced and 5 months after previous stable version.

Bye,
Mosè
