What do you mean by random garbage?
I'm just looking for a symbol of a function that returns the propper
filename depending on my selection in the auctex-context-menu: 
running the master-file or the buffer/region with the next latex-run.

%t gives the correct output, it is either master.tex or _region_.tex,
depending on my selection in the context menu.

Is it perhaps possible to make use of the boolean variable:
`TeX-current-process-region-p', defined in tex-buf.el?
--------------------------------------------------------------
(defvar TeX-current-process-region-p nil
  "This variable is set to t iff the last TeX command is on a 
region.")
