It should still highlight unknown commands.  Try starting Emacs with
emacs -Q -l auctex
and load a LaTeX file.  (You might have to do `M-x global-font-lock-mode
<RET>' in order to activate Font Lock mode before loading the file.)  If
the macros are highlighted in this case, there is likely something in
your init file making problems.

The font locking changed quite a bit in 11.85 and it could be that some
of the older customizations interfere with the new code, even though I
tried to prevent this from happening.
