Any idea where you found that?

I doubt it is related to AUCTeX.

That's a Debian installation. They are messed up by default. You might
want to check the difference in those shadowings and try guessing
whether they could have an influence.
However, they are not related to AUCTeX installations. If AUCTeX made
any changes, they are likely to site-init.el or site-start.el in some
place. But I'd be surprised.
