Sure, but commented package options are a common and syntactically
simple enough case that I would have expected TeX-auto-generate to
handle them properly.

Yes, that fixes the problem.  Thank you!

Is there a reason why \RequirePackage uses a different regular
expression than \usepackage?  If not, then perhaps the AUCTeX
