My first guess is that you have customized `TeX-expand-list', but
looking at the custom variable list you provieded, it doesn't seem so.

But looking at the backtrace, we can at least say that %V doesn't expand
to the current default.

Then I suspect that older installation of AUCTeX interferes with the
latest one. Don't you have AUCTeX<13 somewhere? You can usually check
by examining the value of `load-path'.

M-x list-load-path-shadows RET is helpful here.

No Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found

The value of the variable load-path was

Or you may still be using an emacs session invoked _before_ upgrading
AUCTeX. In that case, please restart your emacs session. In general,
files loaded before upgrade can conflict with the files loaded after
upgrade.

Indeed.

I did restart the session, to no avail. Is there any additional info that could help?

Thanks a lot for your help,
