Duh, this sucks!
Any objection to removing those aliases?
These names belong to AUCTeX and are just wrong in tex-mode.el.

That's a bug which we should fix.
In the mean time, you can use an auctex-override-unload-hook to re-install
the autoloads.

I'd rather try and make my suggestion work than to follow down your
insane path.
I.e. we should remove those atrocities in tex-mode.el and we should fix the
unload-feature to properly re-install autoloads.
In the mean time, you should be able make my suggestion work by using the
following autoload-override.el file:
;; Override the atrocities in tex-mode.el.
(fmakunbound 'TeX-mode)
(autoload 'TeX-mode "...")
...
(defvar TeX-saved-other-tex-autoloads
(mapcar (lambda (f) (cons f (symbol-function f)))
'(tex-mode latex-mode ...)))
(add-hook 'auctex-override-unload-hook
(lambda ()
(dolist (x TeX-saved-other-tex-autoloads)
(fset (car x) (cdr x)))))
;; Give preference to our
(defalias 'tex-mode 'TeX-mode)
...
Then users/admins can (require 'auctex-override) to make AUCTeX be the
default, and if the admin made it the default, users can
(unload-feature 'auctex-override) to make the other tex-mode be the default.
Of course, you can name this file something else than `auctex-override'.
It seems much less insane than your current code. WDYT?
