Actually AUCTeX is not part of Emacs.

Get a recent AUCTeX version.

There might be a bug in font locking, but it's hard to tell without
information about the AUCTeX version and a sample file.  If you have
such problems, it is generally advisable to use `M-x
TeX-submit-bug-report RET' to report it.  This automatically produces
a lot of information helpful for tracking down a bug.
