[AUCTeX] file mode specification error: really problem with making auto-loads

[Peter Rayner]

Ok, I've found the problem I was having with tex-mode being
undefined.  The auto-loads.el file was not being correctly generated
during the make.  Here is the relevant output from 
make auto-loads.el

make auto-loads.el
test Xno != Xno || { \
  rm -f auto-loads.el ; \
  /usr/local/bin/emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -no-init-file -l lpath.el --eval 
'(let ((generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name "auto-loads.el"))) (mapcar 
(function update-file-autoloads) command-line-args-left) 
(save-buffers-kill-emacs t))' tex.el tex-buf.el tex-style.el latex.el 
tex-info.el texmathp.el multi-prompt.el tex-mik.el font-latex.el tex-font.el 
context.el context-en.el context-nl.el tex-fold.el toolbar-x.el tex-bar.el 
bib-cite.el tex-fptex.el tex-jp.el || : ; \
  test -r auto-loads.el || { \
    echo ";; Auto-generated part of tex-site.el" > auto-loads.el ; \
    echo "" >> auto-loads.el ; \
    /usr/local/bin/emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -no-init-file -l lpath.el 
--eval '(let ((generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name "auto-loads.el"))) 
(mapcar (function update-file-autoloads) command-line-args-left) 
(save-buffers-kill-emacs t))' tex.el tex-buf.el tex-style.el latex.el 
tex-info.el texmathp.el multi-prompt.el tex-mik.el font-latex.el tex-font.el 
context.el context-en.el context-nl.el tex-fold.el toolbar-x.el tex-bar.el 
bib-cite.el tex-fptex.el tex-jp.el ; \
  } ; \
}

Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 8704, 28132

Note that tex-jp.el byte compiles fine.  I had a look for the error
but couldn't find it, but then I'm totally blind and balancing parens
in elisp isn't something I'm very good at yet. 
Anyway I removed mulesrc from the command-line for making auto-loads
and now all is well.  This is with the latest cvs of auctex.  Anyone
else seeing this?
regards
Peter
