That indicates that the original function definition is loaded after
your .emacs file, probably because the reftex library isn't actually
loaded until some reftex command is used (i.e. autoloaded).

You could either explicitly load reftex before you redefine the
function:

(require 'reftex)
(defun reftex-do-citation ...)

Or defer the function redefinition until after reftex has been loaded:

(eval-after-load "reftex" '(defun reftex-do-citation ...))
