Indeed, it's more broken that I thought.

Why only one level? Doesn't AUCTeX have code to balance braces somewhere?

I noticed the issue when defining links for my biblio like this

\newbibmacro{string+doi}[1]{%
    \iffieldundef{doi}{#1}{\href{http://dx.doi.org/\thefield{doi}}{#1}}}

Using `rainbow-delimiters-mode` meant that all subsequent braces are marked as 
mismatched. This is really a bigger issue with that package, but nonetheless it 
is caused by AUCTeX.

I also use show-paren-mode to visually (and through a key binding) to jump 
between the closing/end braces, which doesn't work for href (even without 
nested braces).
