This is probably a very rare use case, but your proposed change does not
seem to have negative effects, so I would not oppose applying it.

Diffing against the CVS version would make things easier but in case of
such a small change it does not really matter.  However, it would be
nice if you could provide a ChangeLog entry.  Emacs can help you with
that: if you open latex.el in the source directory, move point to the
each changed function or variable and type `C-x 4 a'.  This will insert
a header for the ChangeLog entry and prefill the function or variable
name if it can determine it.  See also (info "(emacs)Change Log").
