Thanks for the bug report.  I can't reproduce it on GNU/Linux.
So perhaps it is really Mac-specific.  Could you put a breakpoint
on `completion-setup-function' and find out on which variable it fails?

I
eventually figured out the cause of the bug:  it's not
Mac-specific; it's idiot-specific, to this particular idiot.  I
was installing Emacs 20.0.50.1 via darwinports, and failed to notice
that the emacs-devel portfile specifies -D20051018 as an argument to
the cvs checkout command.  When I removed this the problem
disappeared.  So it appears to be an old emacs bug (nothing to do
with AUCTeX, and probably nothing to do with OS X either) that's
already fixed in current cvs.  Thank you for your reply, and
apologies for my stupidity.
