Yes, I can reproduce the error.  I've even edebugged
`multi-prompt-key-value'.  The (require 'crm) returned t, but thereafter
I have:

,----[ C-h v crm-separator RET ]
| crm-separator is a variable defined in `crm.el'.
| It is void as a variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| Separator regexp used for separating strings in `completing-read-multiple'.
| It should be a regexp that does not match the list of completion candidates.
| Modify this value to make `completing-read-multiple' use a separator other
| than `crm-default-separator'.
`----

This is really strange.  I'll ask on emacs-devel for advice how to debug
this issue.  It doesn't look like an AUCTeX problem to me.
