Sounds like on your system LaTeX mode somehow turns on a Latin-1 input
method. Input methods are meant to allow one to type non-ASCII
characters that aren't directly supported by the keyboard. They work by
combining several ASCII keys into a single non-ASCII character (that's
the ``weird control sequence'' you see.
You can turn off the input method by typing "C-\". Alternatively, typing
a SPACE after / or typing "C-q /" will produce a literal /.
