Can you issue `edebug-defun' on
`TeX-source-correlate-determine-method' and rerun
`TeX-source-correlate-determine-method'?  I really can't understand
why it should return `source-specials' to you.  Doing this with both
AUCTeX 11.87 and git version would be nice :-)

Which is what I expect, given your TeX distribution.

I have to repeat again that `TeX-source-correlate-determine-method'
(the function called when `TeX-source-correlate-determine-method' is
set to `auto') is backward compatible since it hasn't been changed
since 2012-08-14, before AUCTeX 11.87 was released.
