If I disable font-lock-mode, I get back the yellow face in the
Background color menu, and it works. Do you get the error when you
click on the Background color button ? Does it give you the menu with
entries yellow/other ?

Maybe you can try to redefine the yellow face in TeX mode, by putting
in your .emacs:
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook (lambda ()
    (make-face 'yellow)
    (set-face-background 'yellow "yellow")))

Hope that helps
