Yes, nested verbatim environments is certainly not the scenario working
best.  Basically, any \begin{X} where X is some verbatim environment
will enable verbatim fontification, and the next \end{Y} will disable it
again.  But X and Y don't need to be the same, like in

  \begin{latexcode}   % enables verbativ fontification
  \begin{lstlisting}
  \end{lstlisting}    % disables it again
  \end{javacode}

AUCTeX font-latex uses syntactic fontification for verbatim blocks.
That kind of font-lock is usually used for comments or strings, i.e.,
all those things that usually don't nest.
