Which version of AUCTeX are you using, and how did you install it?

Can you come up with a recipe to reproduce this issue starting with
emacs -Q?  So something like:

  • emacs -Q
  • eval in scratch:
    (progn
      (package-initialize t)
      (package-activate 'auctex))
  • Open a .tex file with TeX-master in local variables
  • M-x reftex-mode RET
  • M-x toggle-debug-on-error
  • C-c C-e equation RET

And the see what happens.

Best, Arash
