It is still interesting that this doesn't work out-of-the-box.
`TeX-fold-buffer' calls `jit-lock-fontify-now' which should take care
of fontifying the buffer (putting aside XEmacs or cases where jit-lock
is disabled).  I am not sure what happens because I failed to debug
`jit-lock-fontify-now'.  (Somehow the function does not recognize the
macro `with-buffer-prepared-for-jit-lock' anymore after being
reevaluated with `C-u M-C-x'.)  Maybe the relevant font locking
functions have not registered themselves with `jit-lock-functions'
when `TeX-fold-buffer' is being called through `LaTeX-mode-hook'.
