This is working fine here.  cdlatex overwrites the AUCTeX binding of `
which will be bound to `cdlatex-math-symbol'.  Typing `C-h k
cdlatex-math-symbol <RET>' should show you the binding.

In case the binding is in place, perhaps there is an error in your
case.  You should be able to generate a backtrace of such an error by
calling `M-x toggle-debug-on-error <RET>' before typing ` a.  If there
really is an error you should report it to Carsten.

Unrelated to your problem, but for me quite interesting: after typing `
and waiting a second one gets a nice overview of the available math
macros.  Perhaps something like this would be a nice functionality for
AUCTeX as well.  And we could combine this with Unicode symbols and the
possibility to select entries with the mouse.
