I got a recipe as described below.

 emacs -Q
 ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-12.3.1/")
 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-13.0.3/")
 
 (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
 (setq TeX-parse-self t)
 (setq TeX-auto-save t)
 (setq-default TeX-master t)
 
 (find-file-other-frame "report.tex")
 
 (add-to-list 'TeX-expand-list
              '("%(jobname)" sesame-TeX-jobname))
 (add-to-list 'TeX-expand-list
              '("%(outdir)" sesame-TeX-outdir))
 (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
              '("make" "latexmk%S%(mode)%(jobname)%(outdir)%(file-line-error) 
%t"
                TeX-run-TeX nil
                (latex-mode) :help "Run latexmk"))
 
 (defun sesame-TeX-jobname ()
   "Return option `-jobname' or empty string."
   (TeX-active-master-with-quotes nil t)
   ;; " -jobname=LaTexMkJob"
   "")
 
 (defun sesame-TeX-outdir (&optional looptex-p)
   "Return option `-outdir' or empty string."
   (TeX-active-master-with-quotes nil t)
   " -outdir=~/deleteme.d")
 
 (call-interactively 'TeX-command-master) ; type `make'
 (call-interactively 'TeX-recenter-output-buffer)

Messages I expect and I got then are shown below.

 expect:  Running `make' on `report' with ``latexmk -interaction=nonstopmode 
-file-line-error report.tex''
 I got:   Running `make' on `report' with ``latexmk 
-interaction=nonstopmode%(outdir) -file-line-error report.tex''

It seems that when TeX-active-master-with-quotes is called
from TeX-command-expand, something happens.
