That behavior was disabled because double dollar insertion and removal
was asymmetric and because we don't want to encourage people inserting
double dollar signs in LaTeX files.  It can screw up spacing in the
typeset document.  Use \[...\] or displaymath environments instead.
You can reactivate the old behavior by customizing
`TeX-math-close-double-dollar'.  I'll update documentation to reflect
that.
