Dunno whether this is a bug (haven't used LaTeX in 30 years).
See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/58644/105
Seems like `forward-sexp', with cursor before the `{', should move past
the `}'. Instead, it takes account of parens in between: if they are
balanced then it moves to the `}'. Else it moves to a `)' that seems to
balance the `{'.
In LaTeX does it ever really make sense for `)' to balance `{'?
If not, then I think we have a bug. Hopefully someone familiar with
LaTeX will be able to judge.

emacs -Q a.tex
\foo{bar (zot) gazonk}
I tried `C-M-f' on the first { character, and it skipped to the closing
} character.
Do you have a test case to reproduce this bug?

No. As I made clear, I just reported what was signaled
on emacs.SE. See the URL in the bug report - maybe that
will help (or not).

OK, without a test case it's unlikely that we'll make progress here, and
I'm closing this bug report. If progress can be made, respond to the
debbugs address and we'll reopen.
