No such confusion: I'm quite aware of the difference. I may be
misrepresenting things because looking at the current auctex CVS code
I can't see where LaTeX-mode is defined.
The variable `major-mode' *should* hold the function corresponding to this
invocation, so you can return to the current major mode by calling it.
It's used for C-h m for example, and probably by other things
(e.g. clone-buffer, maybe mmm-mode, some hacks to "temporarily switch major
mode", ...).

In my opinion, calling LaTeX-mode should install LaTeX-mode.
Calling latex-mode might either install latex-mode or LaTeX-mode depending
on the user's preference.

Yes, but you can't rely on unload-feature restoring the previous state
anyway because it's broken, so it's not like it makes things worse.
