I've never seen something like this.  When does it happen?

You mean when there is no enclosing math environment, I suppose.

I cannot reproduce this with a current CVS AUCTeX and a vanilla Emacs
21.4 or a CVS Emacs on Debian/sid.  It looks like your font setup is
broken somehow.

This error undermines the suspicion.

Did you alter the font setup in your init file?  If so, you could try
without those changes and see if the problems go away.  Otherwise it
may be a problem with the Emacs shipped with Ubuntu or the X server.

That's outdated.  11.55 is current.
