As `TeX-master' is an AUCTeX variable, I'm not sure.

`TeX-master' can have non-string values[1] as well.

There's similar code in `tex-main-file':

                   ;; Compatibility with AUCTeX.
                   (with-no-warnings
                    (when (boundp 'TeX-master)
                      (cond ((stringp TeX-master)
                             (make-local-variable 'tex-main-file)
                             (setq tex-main-file TeX-master))
                            ((and (eq TeX-master t) buffer-file-name)
                             (file-relative-name buffer-file-name)))))

Maybe `tex-bibtex-file' and `tex-main-file' could share some code.

Bye, Reiner.
