Hi Tassilo,

That's the culprit!  Indeed, without that entry in the alist the
`form' variable in `reftex-reference' has the value "\\ref{%s}" and

    (reftex-format-special "eq:foo" "\\ref{%s}" "\\pageref")

returns

    "\\pageref{eq:foo}"

But I can't get why you don't have that entry in
`reftex-typekey-to-format-alist'.  Up to my understanding this alist
is built in `reftex-compile-variables' and in my system, with the
default RefTeX settings, the first element processed in the outer
`while' loop
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(car
 (reftex-uniquify-by-car
  (reftex-splice-symbols-into-list
   (append reftex-label-alist
       (get reftex-docstruct-symbol
        'reftex-label-alist-style)
       reftex-default-label-alist-entries)
   reftex-label-alist-builtin)
  '(nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
is

    (nil 101 nil "~\\eqref{%s}")

and thus ("e" . "~\\eqref{%s}") will be the last entry of my
`reftex-typekey-to-format-alist'.  Do you customize some variable?
Anyway I still think `reftex-format-special' is somewhat awkward.

Thanks for your time,
bye,
