Sorry, but I still cannot reproduce the problem.  I used the following
file as a minimal example together with `emacs -Q -l auctex':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% TeX-PDF-mode: t
%%% TeX-source-correlate-mode: t
%%% TeX-engine: xetex
%%% TeX-view-program-selection: ((output-html "xdg-open") (output-pdf "Evince") 
(output-dvi "Evince")))
%%% End: 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Looks like the call to synctex is hanging.  What happens if you call
synctex in the directory directly from a terminal with the following
command line?

syntex view -i 18:0:transformation-diss.tex -o transformation-diss.pdf
