I am not sure I understand. The idea in bibtex-autokey-transcriptions
is that each match of OLD-REGEXP is replaced in full by NEW-STRING.
Subexpressions are ignored.
In LaTeX syntax, OLD-REGEXP can appear anywhere inside what LaTeX
considers a word (which even may include spaces). So to make things
more fool-proofed, it would be necessary to parse more carefully the
LaTeX code. I do not think this effort is needed here as these
regexps have worked well for at least two decades. The patch fixes
a minor problem of these regexps pointed out by the OP. But
otherwise it preserves their spirit.
