Not really.  It looks like a change in Emacs led to this because it
still sort of works in Emacs 22.  I say "sort of" because of the
problems Reiner mentioned in this thread.

I changed the code in AUCTeX now in a way which ensures that the style
information is available when the mode hooks are run.  So if you use

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (member "beamer" TeX-active-styles)
              (TeX-PDF-mode 1))))

instead of the code quoted above it should work.  However, even though
everything seemed to work when testing, the change I made may have side
effects and cause other problems, so please be on the lookout for bugs
related to the style system, like missing macro completion or
fontification.
